Piedmont 150 plate scratch(es) progress

[tedzan]

Switching off the main track to a side-track, have you guys explored other PIEDMONT series cards ?

For example, besides the wet sheet transfer (speckled red), my PIEDMONT 460 red Cobb has a plate scratch mark in the lower right corner.

Hi Ted,

I have seen a few in the 350 series but nothing like the 150's. I lost most
of my data when my computer died around a month ago but there are about
250 different scratches on 105 (could be more but I have to re-do the list)
of the 156 PD 150 subjects, some have multiple scratches in different locations on the same subject for instance Young (Bare Hand) has six different scratches).

Your red Cobb looks like purple ink from the star stamp and not a scratch
to me.

Better scans of the six Young (BH) scratches.

Sorry, but I have to differ with you. The scratch line on my Cobb starts above the "V" (VA) and continues up to the "Y" (QUALITY). This line
traverses a path that is virtually identical to the scratch on your Cy Young depicted in Post #178 (lowermost right Piedmont 150 back scan).

Yes, there is a hint of purple ink in the scratch on my Cobb that most likely migrated from the stamp.

Ted, The plate scratches are the same blue ink as the piedmonts. The mark
on your Cobb is definitely purple.

I fully realize that the scratches are blue....I'm not color blind.

What strikes me about this line on my red Cobb is that it coincides quite accurately with the line on one of your Cy Young backs (Post #178).

So, I don't understand why you posted the image you did in your above post, when I pointed out the lower right-most image in Post #178.

Please post this particular Cy Young back image next to my enlarged Cobb back image shown here so we can compare.....thanks.

Pat....I don't fully understand why this line on my Cobb's back ended up with the purple ink from the star stamp. But, what I do see (under high magnification) is
a very straight fine line that could NOT have resulted from random, stray purple ink splash.

Hi Ted,

What if the star stamp was a wooden block type stamp? Perhaps the line could be one edge of the actual stamp?

[Pat R]

Ted,

I think Steve is right it's probably ink from the outer edge of the stamp.

Here's the Young scratch next to your Cobb you asked for.

I think that's just ink from the back stamp and not a plate scratch
