The proof sheet being 12 cards is pretty much normal, a full sheet would have more than one block of 12 cards. Of course, they could have easily done a sheet with that same block of 12 cards repeated a few times.

There are enough similarities between all the early 30's sets, and so much in the way of employees having worked for other companies, that I think the actual printer did all of them. The companies were all in the Boston area, so it's not a stretch that someone moving from one company to another would use a familiar supplier.


Is the name of the printing company known?
That is a very good point, Steve. Just because the proof sheet is 12 cards doesn't really say anything about the size of the sheet. My bad on that one.
