Hockey Team Name? Early 1900's Photo...

[LuckyLuke]

Thank you for your valued input.
The photo is indeed a postcard.
There are 3 others of different players as well with the same unifom and logo.
Looks like the sitting for the photo were taken at the same time as well.
If indeed you are correct about the team being a generic one of no major importance, the question that arises is, why individual RPPC of more than one member of this hockey team if they were of no significance?
Was this often the case?
Thanks again.
Lucky.

Yes, postcards could be and were produced for even minor league and community teams, as I've seen many of individual players like you mentioned, even some of very youthful players/teams, which would confirm very modest status.

If you take a look at these, you'll see similar examples including multiple players from a single team.
Regardless of the team or it's importance, they're a lot harder than team photo postcards (RPPC), and being that you have matched players, it's a nice group.

I hope this helps.

*Edit I just noticed your postcard in the group.

Do you see anything interesting?
