Can Anyone Date This Mantle Photo?
This may be a tough one, but I'm trying to date this Mantle photo. By the signature style, my guess would be 1951-1954. However, I was wondering if there were any tell-tale signs that might narrow the gap.

Jon,
Going by the signs in the outfield, it's his rookie year (1951). Graig

Thanks Graig. I didn't realize the signs changed in the early 50's. That said, I certainly know to trust you on that point - I've watched your impeccable research for your paintings for years!

Hey Jon!
Yeah, those adverts would change over the off-season every year for the most part, though they're some that wouldn't change, and then those that changed as many as three times throughout the season. But from what I can tell, in your photo, it's definitely 1951. Graig
