I picked these up with some Goudey premiums and I not sure what they are. These are 5 x 7 photos and the Williams photo is the one used on his Play Ball card from 1940. I can't find anything about the DiMaggio photo. Looking for any info on these. Thanks!!

They do not look particularly type 1 like in format or clarity to me. They are originally Burke images. Is there anything in the back?

They are blank backed. I should have put that in my original post. I believe they are Burke photos ( probably not type 1's). Thought they might be some type of premium issue. Worst case scenario they are really cool photos. Thanks!!

They appear to be latter-era (1980's-1990's?) George Brace restrikes made from George Burke's original negatives.
