Default Help ID'ing 1920's(?) Oneonta Minor League Cards w/ "City Drug Store" Back Stamps

Anyone ever heard of these? There are pencil notations on the back with player names. They are real photos but card-sized at about 1.5" x 2.5" images to follow.

I know rarity and value don't always equate, especially in a case like this, but I am always surprised when nobody here has an answer! There's about 20 of these all told.

Could these possibly just be snapshots with the drug store stamp applied to the back? Are all the images different, or do you have some duplication?

They may have been promotional items in conjunction with the store, but are they really cards? Maybe they were simply snapshots taken by one of the owners of the drug store, who applied the stamp as a means of ownership? Just ideas; none may be correct.

My thoughts exactly.

I was waiting for others to chime in but that was my initial thought too. Some old photos with back stamps. Still cool....

Another point to consider: the drug store could have developed the film (or outsourced to have it developed), and just stamped the backs of all such snapshots as a means of free advertising before furnishing them to whoever took the photos.
