Thanks Rhett, I thought that myself, but dont have another right now to compare the paper too.

Edited after searching a bit:

PS I found one in a search that is similar Sepia color but no frame. May also be on a different aftermarket paper.
http://cgi.ebay.ca/1937-R329-Clopay-...mZ220485046094

Another question... why are they listed in the ACC as a "R" card, R329? Thought that was Post1930 Candy Issues.

Leon's great unused example (below) has a shoe ad, not Candy. But his back is also different than mine in many ways, different wording, no "#7", "Clopay Square" as the address, etc.

I guess the name "Clopay" back then, was the film/plastic/window blinds company from what I see on Google. See here http://www.clopayplastics.com/clopay_history.htm
PS. There is also some old LIFE Magazine ads for their blinds with the same address as Leons card, Clopay Sq. Cincinnati. so Im sure its the same company.

Maybe Burdick was guessing it was a candy issue, or maybe some have an ad for a candy company too?????

did they (guides) make the connection to Clopay because of Leon's example or was the name Clopay known before? I havent owned one in some time and back then they were known as "Foto-Fun" cards with no mention of Clopay.

Hope its OK to post your pic Leon
