Default T206 AMERICAN BEAUTY 460 sub-set survey....MISSION COMPLETE

In response to recent requests, I'm reprising the American Beauty 460 info I have gleaned from trying to complete this very tough
T206 sub-set.


[linked image]


There are 103 possible T206's that could've been printed with the American Beauty 460 back. However, there are always those tricky
NO-PRINTS that keep you guessing. After 4 years of searching for AB 460 cards, it appears to me that approximately 30 subjects are
NO-PRINTS. This of course is subject to revision, if additional AB 460's are found.

The AB 460 back has a Factory 42 (Durham, North Carolina) identification. These cards were issued near the end of the T206 produc-
tion run in early 1911. So, I thought it would be cool to collect this T206 sub-set.....and definitely challenging. Currently, I have 62 of
these cards, and still searching.


Listed here are the 67 confirmed AB 460 cards. The 350/460 Series subjects are listed first; and, the 460-only Series subjects follow.....
