Baseball Magazine Ads Help needed - 1919 to 1920 CORRECTED

[doug.goodman]

Hi -

As many of you are aware, I am attempting to date the release and print dates of the m114 Baseball Magazine posters.

I am using the advertisements for the posters in the magazine for guidance with the releases of the original posters, and font variations to help with the print dates of subsequent reprints (many posters have multiple printings).

In my quest for the necessary knowledge, I have collected many issues of the magazine, but from 1919 thru 1926 I am missing most of them, so this post is requesting help from those of you who have issues from Jan 1919 thru June 1920, with the most important issues Nov 1919 thru Jan 1920.

I believe that the Dec 1917 ad ran thru late 1919, and the June 1920 ad started earlier.

Help confirming which ad is in the following issues is what I am requesting :

Nov 1919
Dec 1919
Jan 1920
Feb 1920

OR... is there a completely different ad in any of those issues?

Thank you in advance for any help.

FYI - once I complete my "study" I plan to give it out to anybody who cares to see it, and potentially do a write up for OldCardboard.com if Lyman is interested.

PS - once we find answers to the time frame above, I will move on to the next ad whose start date I question.
