I have a photo of Chicken Hawks from Baseball Magazine archive attributed to Conlon. 1. Is this likely the case - no stamp from Conlon and 2. Is there any definitive collection - I cannot find a reference to this photo anywhere?

Conlon used his handwriting on almost everything and that is as good as a stamp to a trained eye. He only stamped maybe half of what he distributed. I like the handwriting better and you have a Conlon signature which is cool!

Thanks for the comment. I have a few others from same BB Mag archive that I cannot find documented anywhere, I am a little surprised that between the Conlon Collection, Getty Images, etc that there are still Conlons perhaps unknown or at least not easily documented

Conlon trashed hundreds, if not thousands, of negatives in an effort to de-clutter. Not sure if that's relevant, but it is so.
