This one has been bugging me. I have a Manning with similar lettering across the top. Could these be from misprinted sheets. The shape of the letter on the top, looking like an upside down U, appears to look like the top half of the O. Anyone else see this or is it just me? BTW I picked up the Gillespie pictured above.

If anyone has a Chris Fulmer Catcher, Baltimore and is willing to sell... let me know. My wife is related to him and would love to add to my collection. Thanks, Brad

Yeah, it's tricky. The partial block letters on my Ewing card are similar to yours (although NOT identical). Tough to tell WHAT letters they were, before being cut.

Bottom letters are the ORM of UNIFORM, it looks like. Top looks like RT to me, but it doesn't match with the currently known pattern.
