A few other nice lots with a T206 Cobb OM and caramel Wagner, Matty, etc. Nothing flew under the radar by any means though!

Can someone post an ebay link for these cards?

Here is a 1911 pharmacy trade publication article in THE SPATULA about Swift's Variety Store that I found while I googled all over my keyboard.

Note that the street address on the full store name stamp is slightly different...242 W. 23rd St. versus 244 W. 23rd St. Sounds like at some point around this time frame that "This quaint store" moved next door.

No problem Leon, always fun to do a little internet research, especially when it comes to identifying sources of pressed seaweed, which H.L. Swift makes sure is stocked on the limited shelves of his variety store, along with a bounty of postage stamps which he makes absolutely no money when selling.

I have to admit I am an avid reader of The Spatula, and use it to keep my pharmaceutical knowledge sharp and current. For example, I now know that opiates such as opium, morphine and cocaine should not be administered to infants as a sleeping aid.

The $1 section in the BST area would be perfect for them.

I will also not recommend giving an infant cocaine as a sleep aid.

Great pick up Leon. Those are some really cool looking cards.
