Interesting 1911 Zeenut Overprints....
Posted By: Mark Macrae
Adam..... The facsimile signature "J J Collins" which is commonly found on the backs of 1911 Zeenuts represents Joseph J. Collins who was a partner in the candy company. During the Teens, he represented himself as secretary & treasurer of Collins-McCarthy Candy. The facsimile bears a remarkable resemblance to Collins' actual signature (At least the examples that I own). The other stamps are examples of "personalization" which have been done to paper artifacts over the last century, some contemporary to their release, others in more modern times for a variety of reasons.
