The Ruth bottom border reminds me of the top border of this laminated 1948 Bowman of Ralph Kiner that I posted on another thread a short while back. The Kiner has an advantage over the Ruth, as the Kiner was correctly laminated.

I won't claim for a second to be an expert on anything prewar & certainly not Goudey specifically, but looks like a fairly routine diamond cut to me. They aren't uncommon at all on postwar vintage issues.

The Ruth might have been a diamond cut originally as the top border looks ok as a diamond cut, but somebody tried to do something to the bottom border. No way it came from the factory that way.

I looks good to me, and agree about the likelihood of this being a diamond-cut Ruth.
