<p>[QUOTE="Pat P, post: 406263, member: 201"]Can you post a closeup so it's easier to get a handle on the printing method?

If it's the former, it's probably 1870s or earlier and worth more, if the latter, it's most likely circa 1880s. </p><p><br /></p><p>If you can't post a closeup, then look for whether the color is continuous, with no dots, or has irregularly sized and positioned dots.
