![]() ![]() ![]() ..^............... brown LENOX examples ...............^ The timeline of the printing of these Group B subjects with AMERICAN BEAUTY 460, LENOX, and UZIT backs was Jan - Feb 1911. This exact timeline coincides with the printing of the T80 (Military Men) cards. Shown below, the T80 cards were printed with CAIRO MONOPOL, LENOX, OLD MILL, TOLSTOI, and UZIT backs. To date, 25 brown LENOX cards are confirmed. If my theory proves true, I predict that 11 (or 12) more T206 cards may eventually be discovered with the brown LENOX backs. Exactly 19 subjects of the 25 brown LENOX cards are from the 350/460 series, and 6 subjects are from the 460-only series...... 350/460 series....Group B ![]() ![]() 350/460 series subjects confirmed with brown LENOX backs Bradley (bat) Burch (fielding) Cobb (bat off shoulder) Conroy (bat) Crawford (bat) Jennings (one hand) Jordan (bat) Lajoie (bat) Lake (no ball) Leach (cap) Leifield (bat) Manning (pitching) McQuillan (bat) Overall (yellow sky) Pfeister (throwing) F. Smith (Chicago & Boston) Wagner (bat on right shoulder) Willetts Willis (bat) T80 cards ![]() ![]() So, here is my hypothesis: The printer at American Lithographic failed to switch from the brown ink after press runs of T80 CAIRO MONOPOL backs to black ink prior to starting a press run of T206 LENOX backs. Apparently, this mistake was caught quickly, which would explain why very few T206 brown LENOX examples exist. Instead of QA discarding these brown LENOX cards, the sheets were factory-cut, and these brown LENOX cards were shipped along with the black LENOX cards to Factory #30. And, inserted into LENOX cigarette packs. The 6 brown LENOX cards from the 460-only series are from the same group of 9 subjects that are the only confirmed PIEDMONT 460 Factory #42 cards in this series. 460-only series subjects confirmed with brown LENOX backs Chase (trophy) Latham Marquard (pitching) Merkle (throwing) Schlei (portrait) Wiltse (portrait-cap) I expect these 3 subjects from the 460-only series will eventually be found with brown LENOX backs...... Schlei (batting) Schaefer (Washington) Seymour (portrait) Let's see your brown LENOX cards. If you have these very rare "gems", why not show them. So, please post them here. TED Z .

Not this year Ted. I was hoping to go, but it didn't work out. Maybe next year, definitely in 2019.

Listed here (in brown color) are the T206 subjects that have been confirmed with Brown LENOX backs. They are interleaved with subjects (in
black color) that are possible Brown LENOX candidates. Let's continue this train rolling down the tracks, perhaps we will discover another new Brown LENOX card (or even more). There are 11 more possible subjects. Hey guys, take a good close look at your LENOX cards. You may be surprised to find a Brown LENOX hiding in your T206 collection ![]() CONFIRMED......26 Brown LENOX subjects. Additional 11 possible Candidates that eventually may be confirmed with Brown LENOX.

I want to thank Ted for this thread. I've been reading it over the last few evenings and will certainly be referencing it in the future.
The amount of information in this thread and Scot's book just blow my mind. I'm an analytical guy. My occupation is a retail analyst. All of this information is an overload for me. Hopefully, some of it will eventually sink in.
