There is no question that Conlon was behind the camera for this shot.
The only cabinet I've owned was Sherry Magee t206 by Horner which was about the same size. The Brown image is 4 x 6 which was a very common size for Conlon at that stage in is career.
So I was thinking... how could the Magee be a cabinet and not the Brown?
That's why I brought it to this side cause I knew you guys could clear it up for me.
Thanks again, Dave.
My best, Jimmy

Yeah, I would guess Conlon himself probably placed it on the mount for preservation purposes since much of the photo stock from that time period was so thin.
Percy Dana did the same with many of his Boxing photos, though they can be found in both mounted and unmounted format.
