That is Maranville, I am not sure of the location but it is circa 1912-1914. Derek may be able to tell us more.

Thanks

FWIW, I'm pretty sure it's from 1913 as the Comet Photo Studios marking on the back is the same marking that is on the July 1913 Maranville Day Postcard that Jeff Prizner now owns.

Jim - Even cooler that yours may have been autographed by Maranville as well!

Great thread, guys. That hockey postcard is awesome, JB, as is your framed display piece, Jim!

Recently picked this one up. Currently at PSA getting graded.

Did a little research on this one! Postcard has an AZO stamp box with 4 squares, and by looking at the cars and games against the Phillies listed on the marquee (June 4-5-6) I'm comfortable saying this is a 1938 RPPC.

Here's an awesome postcard I scooped up from ebay a couple of weeks ago. It's a 1910 RPPC of William "Bill" Lange (Chicago Colts Center Fielder 1893-1899). Did some research on how he ended up in this sweet ride and I found this explanation:

"Chicago Daily News photos of the now 39-year-old Lange show him in fit physical condition, belying reports that Lange’s weight had ballooned to over 300 pounds. In appreciation for his service to the earlier Chicago club, Cubs fans took up subscriptions that resulted in a handsome Chalmers touring car later being presented to Lange."

Also, he used this postcard to advertise his Real Estate & Insurance business in San Francisco after his retirement from the Chicago Colts in 1899
