1947-66 Exhibit sample card...or is it?

[Rickyy]

The front is an ordinary Bob Friend card... I have a non sport exhibit of Gene Autry with an art deco type stamp that says "Gene Autry 32 cards" and a 47-66 George Kell with stamped with "Black Cow Sucker." I've also seen the non sport example on Adam's exhibit web site with the back stamp for "Popular Cowgirls" but this one is new to me..and looks strange...almost like some words were "inked in" by felt pen.... what's y'all think fellow Exhibit card bretheren?

It looks more like a stencil than a stamp to me. Not sure if that means anything or not though.

Never seen one before but would question if its period

I'd say no. The samples I've seen from the postwar years use the same stamps as are on the ends of the 500 count bricks of the cards. Like the cowgirl card.

Thanks for chiming in fellas...I feel the same.... it just looks too strange...
