Interesting PC-F.G. Henry & CO.?

[teetwoohsix]

I really don't know much about PC's, other than I really like some of them. I usually don't find any with old baseball themes when I'm out searching around, but this past weekend I found this one in Hollywood and was pretty excited about it. If anyone has any information on this, I'd appreciate the help (like if it has a designation or if anyone has other similar ones, etc.).

Under the picture, it has tiny writing which was sort of difficult to read even with a loupe, but I did my best, and it says:

Copyright 1910? By The Colonial Art Pub. Co. B'klyn N.Y.
Published By F.G. Henry & Co. Inc. N.Y.

Post stamped Levanna, N.Y., Aug. 15th PM 1911
Adressed to Lucy ?, King Terry (Ferry?), N.Y.

The back, to the best of what I can make out, says:

"Am glad you made Auburn all right. I do not see in to the ( train?) tracks. We will have to look into that next time. If I did not have company from Pittsburg, we would go to the (hop?) tonight."

Anyhow, I just thought this is an interesting image and wanted to post it for everyone to check out. Comments or information welcomed and appreciated. Thanks-

Sincerely, Clayton

I think these are fairly common. They were probably downright pornographic for the day.

Thanks- funny, I thought the same thing. I thought this may have been kind of on the edge for that time period

Very common, but a cool set...there are many different ones and some are more risque than others. More than one company made these baseball themed romance series postcards. Lately they've been selling in the $5-$10 each range.
