1917 Collins-McCarthy E135


This is one of my more unique antique items in the Tribecards Collection.  There are 200 numbered cards in the set.  The set contains a handful or so of error cards and/or alternate poses.  As you can see, the lone example in my collection has "Tipton" written all over it.  It is not only folded several times over (I cannot help but wonder if someone tried to make an airplane out of it), but the paper is worn VERY thin and the card is extremely flimsy.  It's one of the few that I do not handle often because I'm afraid I'll tear it if I do.

I found a checklist online:
