Ewing has a few interesting printing flaws. I checked 201 Ewing scans ( some
were definitely the same cards I'm guessing 160-175 were different cards) the
ones with part of the letters missing on the bottom of the name all have a
bump in the top border but I also found some missing part of the top border
and some with part of the top border filled in.

At first I thought they might have fixed the name and the top border on this
particular plate but I think the bump is a little to far to the left for this to
be the case but it does appear that the plate missing part of the top border
was filled in and the backs found with these two flaws are in the right printing
timeframe for this fix.


These are the flaws I found.

Missing part of the letters and bump in border -7 total
SC 649 - 3
PD 159 - 2
SC 150/25 -2

Missing Part of top border- 4 total
SC 150/30 - 1
SC 649 - 2
Hindu - 1


Gap filled in on top border - 9
PD 150 - 8
PD - 350 - 1
