Revisiting T207 Napoleon oddity - your input needed

[mybuddyinc]

Mike,

Crazy stuff, wish I could add something.

My Gowdy isn’t a Nap. (but it is an Anon.3 ), so no help there.

I only have a handful of Naps. and none have the “Recruit Swoop.”

Also, very much YES – The last “N” is definitely “shaved” (for lack of a better term) on right side.

Here is a “normal” Nap. Back. For comparison:

So it would make sense (at least to me ) that the “swoop” was printed first. Then the printers realized it, and removed it, causing the “shaved N.”

BUT --- why just Gowdy ?????!!!!! One time / one sheet / first run of Nap. Backs and he was the random front ?? That’s all I can think of ……

All part of the – Fun, fun, Scott

Great thread! I was just going to post what Scott said about the "N" being shaved a bit.
