Very nice
The 1970 looks like it may have some Progressive Indirect Design Transfer on the reverse.
I'd like to revisit this. Could the indications be the result of the split plate effect?
They are different, unique and you found it. That is reason enough to keep it. I keep all of mine simply because it adds a personal flavor to the...

I grade it Awesome.
I use them in type sets that I am making up for my great grand children (19 so far) and grand children (13). And, I think it is a sacrilege to...
