T206 Old Mill Back - Stamp Question
 

I have a Westlake, Danville T206 card with a black Old Mill back. The back has a very faint stamping across the card from bottom to top and under magnification it appears to say "D_ollcate". I cannot make out the letter between the "D" and the "o". The "D" and "cate" are pretty legible but too faint to present here in a scan.

Does this stamping have any significance to the T206 issue or is it simply somebody's personal name stamp?

Any and all insights appreciated.

Most likely a personal or store stamp. Do you have a scan? IMO, back stamps are always a nice addition to cards.

This is about as good a scan as I'll be able to get:

I believe that says "Duplicate"

What he said... Duplicate.

Outstanding deciphering... thank you!

I'll assume that is not a factory stamping.
