Help Identifying Postcards
 

Over the years, I've accumulated a large number of Orioles postcards. Some are fairly easy to identify, JD McCarthy, James Elder, etc. Many of them have nothing more than a printed name on the back. I would like to better organize them and looking for some postcard experts to identify some of the handwriting on the backs of the postcards.

Some I'm fairly confident I know, others are a guess. If you can verify or correct any of these, I would much appreciate it. Thanks in advance for any help.

not really sure of what you are asking for.


the names are easy to read.

..can you show scans of any non-"KodaK" stamp box areas,,,,,,and any ID of the printer/publisher ?thanks..

Sorry for the confusion. I'm trying to determine who actually printed/produced each postcard, not the player pictured on the postcard. For example, JD McCarthy postcards have his name printed on the postcard back, James Elder stamped a three digit number on his and others would stamp their name on the back. Many of the postcards printed in the 1960's & 70's do not clearly identify who produced them. The only way is to the identify the handwriting on the back of the postcard. Hope this is clearer.

Without even seeing the fronts I'm going to guess these were made by Jim Rowe from George Brace negatives.

What Dan said.

Thanks Dan. The fronts are B&W and probably most of them used George Braces negatives. I do believe example #3 is Jim Rowe's writing, but I don't believe he did all of them. I know example #1 is definitely done by Mel Bailey. He almost always wrote the year after the player's name.

got you....makes sense. I got some JD McCarthy cards..pretty nice cards
