That is very cool. I will check that thread out. Thank you for the info.
Also a bit of an update. I have found several of the EXACT photos while scouring the interwebs. Oddly enough, all seem to have a facsimile signature on/with the photo.
Does anyone have any ideas as to what the photos may be from? Was it a practice to have a series of photos with a facsimile autograph in any certain type of publication, like a yearbook? Did they have picture packs back then? Postcards perhaps?
