I bought the postcard. Apparently this originally came from the estate of the other man pictured -- George Parquette. He owned Parquette Jewelry in Augusta and was the one who supplied the gold watch that was presented to Cobb on August 25th, 1905.



Anyway, thought it was a neat piece of history so I made the seller an offer and he accepted.
