Good evening,

I was hoping someone with a little better postcard/player knowledge could help me out with identifying both player and time frame of when this picture postcard was made. Based on a quick look up/guessing, I think it should fall in the 1930-1950 time frame, and thought perhaps it could be Urban "Red" Faber in one of his final years. Any thoughts/feedback are greatly appreciated. Thank you!

Andrew, I am no expert, but I checked on "dressed to the nines" site, and you can compare as well there, it appears to be mid 20s to 1928. The two toned hate, with that style of jersey, stopped in 1928. Can't really tell if the length of the sleeve would come down near the wrist or not. I sure someone can pin this down much better.
Check out the web site, DRESSED TO THE NINES. with photo in hand, you may be able to narrow it down yourself.

Stamp box dates to 1930-50 so the earliest it could be looks like 1930.

Earlier image on a later postcard is what it looks like to me.
