Default Another oddity to share

I saw this listing but didn't notice the font differences...wow Frank has a pair of eagle eyes. I don't have much to offer on this weird variation, but thought I would share another oddity in the W575/E121 family that I don't remember seeing elsewhere. Both of these Hollacher cards are from the E121 Series of Eighty with the "Lancaster and York, Penna" in plain lettering on the back, but the font sizes of the print on the front are noticeably different in size. The standard printing size is the card with the sharp corners, while the card with the "1921" written on front is the unusually small font size. I layed the two on top of each other to clarify the different fonts.

These sets sure are one big puzzle...thanks Frank for pointing out the "E135" connection on the Kelly.
