I don't think they knew each other before 1946 or 1947 so what ever this picture is it wasn't taken during the war. What is the story behind where you got it? They both look older there. This may be a long shot, but I know the Dodgers toured Japan during the winter of 1955-56 so maybe this is from a stop in Okinawa?

My dad had them in his collection until recently. He has/had lots of stuff from old players and this is just something that he got, put away and forgot about until recently. Just the fact that they are personal photos of 2 Dodger greats is pretty cool. I guess I'll just throw them up on ebay and see where it goes.
Thanks for the info on the Japan tour, that helps.
