1937 Joe DiMaggio Boraxo premiums - anyone familiar with these?
 
2 Attachment(s)
Hi All, have a pair of early DiMaggio premiums and I am striking out with positively identifying them. The only reference I could find online was an old Net54 post where someone showed one of the poses and identified it as a 1937 Boraxo premium. Has anyone seen either of these before? Around 8"x10" in size and done on heavy glossy stock. Thanks for any input you may have!

Blank back, correct? They remind me of Butterfingers.

I am not sure how to identify them, but the photo that shows Joe leap/stretching for a ball was also used for the 1937 Wheaties Series 9 panel seen below, so 1937 seems like a possible date of issue for them.

Yes, these are both blank back. Far heavier stock than Butterfingers.
