FourStrikes - interestingly, I own one of those as well....mine has different staining than the one you shared. Is it yours? I believe it to also be from the mid- to late-teens (not 1920s) as my postcard was also addressed to Irene (same girl that was the object of Bill's affection from my other postcard). McGowan met and married his future wife in 1918 (not Irene), so my guess is that the postcard you just shared is also from around 1915-1918. Very cool to know that another exists! It has that same crummy handwriting on front, but different corner creases and stains.
