Interesting to note in another thread that these are actually Raphael Tuck and Sons oblaten (scraps), not sure why they are referred to as R&S.

Raphael Tuck and Sons

You're right, and what I think is that when people look at the logo, especially on the oblaten, they mistake the T for the ampersand (&) behind it, or think the T is part of the ampersand for some reason (or someone did once, and now we all call the little baseball guys R&S.)

Here's the logo from another set of scraps I have:



Which as you can see, the printing is not clear.

Here's the logo from a postcard:



Clearer to read, but the T is still somewhat obscured by the ampersand. I can see why this happened (does anyone know when?) and find it all very interesting (I have many, many Tuck postcards in my inventory.)
