Joe_G.Yes, your example is with Milwaukee, an 1889 card. Just as below, the two Milwaukee examples are 1889 cards. The box is present on all Ed Herr poses (actually all St. Louis White cards originally issued in 1888). Only, during the first year (1888), Goodwin colored it in to match the background. It doesn't appear they felt it necessary to do the same when they re-issued the same poses the second year with Milwaukee. Perhaps the following pics from Dave Levin's site will help demonstrate this.
We now have examples of all three versions of 225-1 in this thread.
I'm not trying to pic the card apart, just stating facts.
Best Regards,
