Exhibitman- great way to sum-up the situation with the photos. And yes at the same time - that is what is so frustrating. You and I have photos that match Bond Bread cards that came out in 1947, you would think that the photos came out at the same-time, if not first, but some of the Bond Bread images were on cards circa 1940. How can anyone put a date on the photos?
Yes we can look at the photo paper and maybe put an age base on that, but as you have said it is not an accurate date, it is a best guess situation.
But I ask the question, do collectors find the photos I and you have valuable, just in the photo alone, or do they look for value in what Type the photo is: Type,1,2 or 3. John
