Here are several other examples of that photo:
http://www.tineye.com/search/762ae7d...22cf62bb8d8a9/ Unfortunately most of those links don't lead back to actual information on the date, photographer, etc. Getty Images says 1951, but without a photo credit. http://www.gettyimages.com/detail/ne...-photo/2793221 ADDING: RPPC paper stock was sold in bulk, it would not be a huge surprise if paper that was discontinued in 1950 was used to print a photo in 1951.

Hi-
I hope I am wrong, but something about the image and back does not look right to me and I believe this is a fantasy piece. It would be a great postcard to own if it is from circa 1951 but there is something about the way it looks that would cause me not to buy it. However, I am definitely not an expert and would defer to those folks. I believe there are a couple of board members who own fairly extensive Mantle collections, including postcards who might be able to chime in. Alan

Mantle PC
Thanks for the replies (and PMs) everyone. I really appreciate the responses to my questions. Question 3 regarding authenticity is the most important, quite honestly, although I'm very pleased that questions 1 and 2 have been answered satisfactorily.
Is there an "easy" way to distinguish vintage PCs from fantasy/repro pieces for something like this? I usually can just "tell" based on my xp, but this one is a little harder for me. If there's a tried and true test (or an expert in the Phoenix area), I'd love to get some help!

I'll try to get a better scan in the next few days to show the coloring of the back and frayed edges. This may help.
