Stamp or printing on a T206 back

[CardTarget]

If it was a wet sheet transfer the word "Azalea" would be reverse negative... Looks like a stamp of some kind to me, but that doesn't rule out a printer scrap.

There isn't any textural difference between the card and the stamp. I am thinking it was something that was done in the printing with there being 3 different colors that make up the stamp.

A couple of my Buck Barker Zeenuts, with a special James Cagney 'transfer' on one of them. I don't think the flower is anything more than a 'tattoo' that was/(still?) available when I was a kid...you wet them and press against the skin or other surface to transfer the colors.

Definitely had nothing to do with the printing in my opinion.

There are a lot of (maybe period) transfers and rubber stamps on tobacco cards.

I have a couple T206 and T207 with similar looking transfers.

Interesting to have them though!

Hi Guys,
The ATC did release a couple of issues that included flowers at theis time. The two of the top of my head are T106 State Girl series with State Flower and S48 silks flower series.
I have purchased several dozen S48's for my Mom, and they do have a similiar size image, and the ink tends to bleed through the back.

Here is a picture:


Good luck... Be well Brian

Here is a picture of the State Girl and Flower silks...
