Default Are Any of You Knowlegeable of "Parade Sportive" Photos?

Paul:

Dont know if this will help much but my Robinson is a tad larger than some of the others (I have all but one in the set)and is the exact same size as others.

Also, your Robby has a "Les Galleries" ad at the bottom where mine is the same style as the rest of the set - no ad. I am afraid yours could be a promo piece using the original issue. There is no ad on any of the rest of my group.

There is also a 3/12 X 5 inch card of the Robinson - clearly a reprint (exactly the same as my large one) and also without the ad.

Finally, my Robinson is also a bit whiter than the balance of the set.

It is my understanding that these were issued between 1944 and 1947.

P.S. Is Les Galleries Lucy Favreau Antiques ? Might explain the ad.
