Now I show you 2 photos of the Trinidad y Hno collection of cigars.One one shows the President of the U.S.A. with a baby and in the other Babe Ruth with the same Baby, my question in what period was he president, and who was that baby? The 2 photos measure 8X10 inches, I show them edited and cropped, Ruth's appears in volume 2 of my catalogs with the collection of this factory.

Baby Snookum(s) was a comedic character in short movies in the late 20s and early 30s. I forget the actor's name. Coolidge died in 1933 but was only president until 1929, so that should help date it.

I looked Snookums up as the result of a prior thread that showed a photo/card? with Babe Ruth, and the Babe got second billing in the caption. Here is the actor's film bio filched from IMDB website:

Young "Sunny Jim" McKeen was featured in 39 "Newlyweds and Their Baby" shorts in the late 1920s, then went on to make a series of six sound shorts on his own. A very blond little boy, he was a contemporary of the child actors such as Allen 'Farina' Hoskins and Jackie Cooper, Davey Lee and Shirley Temple. He died of blood poisoning in 1933, at the age of 8.

Born in 1924, he was already working on the Universal lot by 1926, at just two years old.
He was featured in advertisements for baby swimsuits.
At the peak of his fame in the mid- to late 1920s, a candy bar was named after him which featured his image on the wrapper.

Many thanks to; Franco, Scott, Brian and Snapolit 1, everything that they have narrated to me was unknown to me, I had only seen that child in those photos of Trinidad's collection, from what they say Ruth had something to do in a movie with him boy? However, without knowing the data that they have given me in my catalog, volume 2, in the part that has to do with the Trinidad and Hno collection, I put 1926-28, and due to the age that the child in the photo appears, he must be 2 or 3 years, now I show you the complete photo with the propaganda of the factory and another of the collection.

Exhibitman, you have a very good collection of Trinidad and Hno. More than 100 different themes have passed through my hands: baseball, boxing, silent film artists, western celebrities, pioneers of aviation, film women , theater, semi-nude, etc. Now I send you the photo of the 8X10 photo album, you will see that the cardboard sheets are prepared to place the photos in the slots, these albums are very rare, one of them says in the cover 1928, in gold letters, I have seen them in colors blue, green, red etc, when you see this you let me know so you can see more details in the players.
