Unique Tom Tyler UID silent film arcade/exhibit card

When I first saw this Tom Tyler silent film arcade/exhibit card manufactured by the Exhibit Supply Company (Chicago, Illinois) online I was not really sure what to make of it. It is a standard size at 3 1/4 x 5 ¼", and the scene seems to be from one of Tom’s later silent films made for FBO, possibly from 1928 or 1929. There is no existing match that I could find anywhere online or elsewhere, telling me this card is rarer than most Tom Tyler arcade/exhibit cards. Take a look below to find out what is so different from standard Tom Tyler posters, film stills, and arcade/exhibit cards often seen on Aventuras de Tom Tyler:


This scene could be from one of the following silent films:

The Avenging Rider (1928)
Tyrant of Red Gulch (1928)
Trail of the Horse Thieves
Gun Law (1929)
Idaho Red (1929)
The Pride of Pawnee (1929)

Have you guessed what is so different in this image? Not only is Tom’s western outfit missing the scarf around his neck – but his shirt is unbuttoned to well below his chest. You’re looking very handsome Tom – and sexy.
