Hey Dave, Do we have any idea where the scrapbook originated? If so, that could sway my mind as to other back possibilites besides Piedmont and Sweet Caporal?

Also interesting that all nine of the loose card are 350 subjects only. Could this have been put together in just 1910, and if so what other brands does that automatically rule in or rule out?

I like how the cards were place in nice straight rows!

Thank you for any input.

The family has been in the Atlanta area since the early 1900's. The scrapbook would have been put together in Georgia.


As far as the 350 subjects being the only ones showing as far as the loose cards, that was brought to my attention early on and I don't have an answer as to how that would work. I don't know if you put the album together in 1910 if predominately what you would have bought would have been 350 subjects or if you should still have a portion of 150 subjects mixed in...i'm not sure. There are T206 experts that probably know much more about that than I do.

I wouldn't automatically conclude that it is a 350 subjects only distribution (much more likely to be a 150/350, 350 and 350/460 distribution). But if you had reason enough to believe this to be true....the following backs are possible in a 350 only series:

American Beauty Frame
Broad Leaf
Carolina Brights
Cycle
Drum
EPDG
Old Mill
Piedmont
Polar Bear
Sovereign
SC Fact 25
SC Fact 30
Tolstoi

I would love to hear the findings from the eventual winner.

Best Regards,
Scott
