The July, 3 1909 advertisement in Sporting Life establishes that Piedmont 150, Sovereign 150 and Sweet Caporal 150 were the first T206 backs.

My suspicion is that Sweet Cap 150 Factory 25 was before Factory 30 or Factory 649. (All Piedmont and Sovereign 150s are Factory 25.) This suspicion is based on image clarity and the fact that most Wagners are Sweet Cap 150/25.

Edited to add: So if you are looking for a “true” Marquard rookie go with Hands at Side Piedmont 150, Sovereign 150 or Sweet Cap 150/25.
