Leon, I saw them and immediately thought they were mounted negatives for the 1931 Sun Pictures Photos (they picture the Wesley ferrell in the SCD book). I haven't handled a ton of those but are they not them? I don't see Cuyler or Gelbert on that checklist but I have seen the Hartnett before (same picture as his Uncle Jacks and Butter Cream card).

I don't think they'd pick William Haines and Norma Shearer for a later retrospective set. Them as subjects would strongly suggest they're vintage.

I don't think they'd pick William Haines and Norma Shearer for a later retrospective set. A bit obscure to be used later on.

Interesting thoughts so far, guys. I wonder if all of the 1931 Sun Photo cards of the baseball players are the same poses for the corresponding Uncle Jacks? I have a Hartnett Uncle Jacks and they are definitely the same pose. If these are in fact the 1931 Sun Photo negatives then the Gelbert is uncataloged so far.

And George, thanks for the heads up on the postcard of the Indians. It's a perfect (*and cheap) piece to go with this grouping...

This kind of stuff is what helps keep collecting interesting for me.

Interesting acquisition Leon. I have seen the racing plane card/photo somewhere but can't remember where. It almost resembles something from a British Cigarette card???

Here is a corresponding Haines item too.

I think you're right, Rhett... I think they are negatives of the 1931 Sun Picture Photos... Here is a picture of the Ferrell from that set... His card is my token example..... I am still looking for the Grove from this set if you need money for the National....
