Could be another one of the ones where the caption didn't transfer to the plate properly, but in this case it got fixed. All the press operator would need to do to fix it would be to scratch in the missing letters.

It definitely looks that way to me.

Sorry for the delay guys. The ink is original to the card. So small that i don't think you could write it with a pen and it's the right color. Can everyone check their Purtells and maybe we can find another.

Can you guys tell me why the red would be off on both sides of this? Also, are the two dots of red on the side just to the left of his head ink drops or something that was spilled on the card later? Not as weird/cool as most of you have, but interesting to me.

What you're seeing is the pink layer shifted to the right and the bright red shifted slightly left.

Under the red at the left, there's a slightly lighter band the same width as the pink that sticks out at the right. And a similar but smaller vertical band at the right.

It's hard to tell about the other spots. Could be stains, could be spattered ink. Even in hand it can be hard to tell sometimes.

Thanks, I had not thought of pink. I could not figure out two red shifts. Man, guys on this board know everything about these cards.
