T206 "Brown" Old Mill Southern League Back...Legit?

Ted - Your theory is an interesting one to me. Just so I am clear, are you saying b/c there is only 34 (out of 48) Southern League Brown Hindu's, there would never be a Brown Old Mill outside this group of 34? If so, I am buying the brown old mill argument. I wish the tint of brown was definitive on the Old Mills, but is has that faded or washed look. It is obviously not as true a brown color as Brown Hindu. I have several brown hindu's and they all look ripe brown. The Old Mill's take on the look of the Broad leaf, but a slight shade different. The BL's look more light black to me. I could be color blind to brown...

It seems as though every legit Brown Old Mill seems to have the same printing mark on the back. Each corner has the three loops, and in the bottom right corner, above the 3 loops is a little splash of extra ink on the double lines...anyone else seeing this?

The one Tom Barlage has on Ebay looks legit. I can't see how that shade of brown is faded black. Wasn't there a theory that the brown OM's were run through just after say a Brown Hindu run? A lot of the hand cut T206's seem like the only things left at ATC, don't they? It makes sense they were rejects.
