Leon, is that a postcard? Great image! I love the mustache brothers.

Nice cards Dave! So that's the zeenut factory?

You probably have that obak baseball player cutout somewhere don't you?

Cool postcards, guys. Collins-McCarthy factory photo with a stack of Zeenut boxes in the back left.

I wish!

Here's one of my favorites.

Incredible Dave. Even more interesting that it was stamped Portland.

that last Obak PC - really special - part of what makes RPPC's so special. Just wow.

A long long time ago on Ebay, perhaps circa 1998/99 a postcard picturing a storefront full of Ramly advertising was offered. I was the underbidder, and am 99.9% sure that Bruce (yes that Bruce) using the ebay ID aliandmatt was the winner and never paid for it. At least that's what I recall from the feedback left and when I questioned him a decade later he did not have it in his collection.

I am very interested in finding this or another and will pay very nicely for one if offered.

Sounds very familiar Scott. Is there a larger format photo out there?

Robert,

Not to my knowledge, it was standard post card size, storefront of a local tobacco shop I guess. I did not think to save the image at the time, as this was early on in ebay days and assumed another would show up. Assuming it was mass produced, perhaps, but if a RPPC probably not.
