davidcyclebackThe Vermont proofs weren't made during the Old Judge years. I say this from viewing pictures and inspecting some in person. Some, like the 'Old Judge tintypes proofs' are nothing more than bad jokes. However, there are genuine Old Judge proofs on the market.
The genuine Old Judge proofs are cabinets in the same shape and size as the N173 cabinets. The mounts have text from various photo studios instead of Goodwin/Old Judge. These studios are usually the studio that shot the images for Goodwin.
