Some years ago an auction house, I believe it was Grey Flannel, sold a lot of (2) oversized color photos of Babe Ruth in which he was in his very later years from what I recall. I am going only off of recollection but I believe the information provided was that Specs Toporcer had taken them with an experimental camera in the late 1940s. If true they would, by default, have to have been taken in 1948 at the latest and given Ruth's health that year probably a touch earlier. I can not find the Grey Flannel catalog in which they appeared.
