Agreed on the dating Rhett...I have always felt that these were from mid to late run (circa 1910-11). The Clarke (Pittsburgh) version that you have also points towards a later distribution date for the "208's" as Pittsburgh changed its name officially from Pittsburg (minus the "h") to Pittsburgh in 1911. Why Clarke's "Pittsburgh" was the only Pirate changed is another question.

Unfortunately I was the "ball-dropper" that Rhett mentioned on the Reulbach. A very busy week and a failure to adjust my snipe ='s no 208 for me.
