Really? If I handled these in person and determined that they were real, they would still be fakes?
You are probably right about them being fakes, but you also had the percentages behind you when you responded to my original post about the early Stengel postcard. In fact, yours was the first negative response posted in that thread, and, as with this one, you posted before doing any research.
I don't believe in taking stupid chances with things that have a high likelihood of being fakes, but Hank's original post that he couldn't locate these images anywhere was kind of a clue in favor of these possibly being real (like my not being able to locate images of the Stengel postcard). The next step was higher-res scans, which the OP provided...still looking good.
The next step is to examine them in person. If the OP is unwilling to let anyone do that, then end of story. If he is, then we look at them and we probably find that they are fakes. But perhaps not.
