Very interesting thread!
Very interesting thread gentleman!
Looks like we have:
1) Pinkerton Cabinets (Real photos without wide white borders on photo stock)
These are normally found on cardboard mounts which came in a variety of colors (gray, tan etc.)...sometimes found on cheaper construction paper mounts...sometimes unmounted either having never been mounted or they have come free from their original mounts. I have been told original photos have been glued on only 2 corners of the photos.
2) Pinkerton Postcards (Sepia colored on cardboard) These are not real photos. These can be blank backed or can be found with a scorecard back. Commonly used as postcards.
3) Pinkerton Photo Cards (Photos on a heavier cardboard stock with wider white boarder which are larger than the photos used on the Pinkerton Cabinets.)
