I'm not an expert on how these were printed, but if you look at the card, you see that the text appears at the top and bottom. |

Though it sounds like most of the orange variations are 350's, isn't the Old Mill "Large Assortment" shown above from the 460 series? I am a bit under the weather today, but I thought the "Large Assortment" and "460 Subjects" were essentially the same series of cards. |

Scott, I think you are very close to what happened on the Cobb's. I 100% agree with you that the final red is missing. The only thing I question is the actual use of the color orange in the background on it. From my card being off register I can see that the orange background is actually made up from the color yellow in the hair and pink for the facial tones (esp. strong on bottom left ear lobe). Here is a enlarged version of my card. You should be able to see that the color yellow is shifted to the bottom and pink shifted high (even over the top border). Red is totally absent on my card which is probably why it stayed orange. The final red coat never made it on it. I do think the background should have been made up of a coat of pink, yellow, then finally red with blue somewhere in between. It appears that only 3 out of four made it on mine. |

I'm looking at the Tinker image in the magazine article, and it's a "redder" orange than the Cobb. But it's hard to tell without having the actual card in hand (which I did when I wrote the article). Even when you have the cards in hand it can be tough to unravel the colors - the Willis was very difficult. Another consideration is that even if all four colors are present, the amounts of each can vary, which will give different appearances. |
