@EagleEye Hope you are watching.

I was updating an old IHC album and noticed a couple of anomalies on this 1859 IHC. I compared it to Rick's S1 Repunched Digits and noticed some similarities. The woodgrain obviously may be hiding attributions or creating them, but would like opinions as to
its possibility of being the S1, please. It is probably not, but thought I would ask.

    Given the images you have supplied, I don't see an exact match. However, as you have stated, the woodgrain and lighting/pixelation may all affect how I interpret the images.

    I hope the close ups might help.

    The date position does not look correct to me. I don’t think this is the S1.
