I hope you see why this is such a perplexing mystery (at least to me anyway).

OK, I can download this one and also theLivigston one now as well.
But I don't think it should surprise you at all that a variety should disappear, lots did as evidenced in that Chicago Bulletin, but I don't think it HAS disapperaed quite frankly, I tend to think it's the pink one that de Georgie had and Glenn Drowns listed and still does.
After all de Georgie and Livingston were contemporaneous in IA at the same time, which makes even more sense to me at least
