Unknown Ruth card?
A brand new member sent this to me asking what it is. I told him I am a type collector and don't recognize it but my guess is it will be a newer, modern-type issue. Any help will be appreciated...

Looks like an artificially aged 1980-90's collectors issue. Stylistically that back looks to be from that date range. I don't recall seeing this particular card but there were so many collectors issues during that time.

Looks a little like that left edge is perforated as if to be torn out of a page. "Dover" like print qualities. So many "collector" books came out in the 80s and 90s....someone here knows for sure I bet. Dave.

No idea, reminds me of modernish Japan style trying to appear as if it were earlier. If the question is pre or post, as opposed to type, then the forehead hairline, eyebrows and that pseudo scroll at the bottom that bears Ruth's sacred name turn me off. LOL, I'm likely wrong about everything.

I have never seen a ruth card like that and i have searched ruth cards for a while. From the look i would guess its a 1970 at best. But could of easily of been made last week. I would also guess it could be a home made card. There is no marking of a company brand or ad and its not in the known ruth card check list.

I have no idea what it is. But I'd agree it's more modern. I'd guess 1960's at the very earliest. Looks newer than that to me by the fonts used on the back. Maybe 1970's or 80's or a very new fantasy piece made to look old. I have no idea but would be shocked if it was 1950's or earlier....
