Just Got Cards Back From SGC

[Fred]

Does the OJ say something about Royers Confectioner on the back?

go to your paypal account, I just discovered it had items that I had bid on or won going back well over a year that were archived.

Thanks for the reponses.

I don't believe I have a UV light. What does a UV light show?

Second, yes the back of the card references Royer Confectioner. I can't read everything on the back- it appears to be stamped with an ink stamper and reads:

Jon R. Royer
Confectioner
88 W. King St.
Lancaster, PA.

The front says Old Judge in the upper right corner and Goodwin & Co., New York on the bottom. Some of the letters on the front are too small and faint to read. The card appears to be old and appears to have had shellac or varnish applied to the front. It's slightly curled and the varnish has cracks in it.

I have attempted to upload a front and back photo so hopefully it shows up.

Again, thanks for the help and look forward to any additional comments on the card.

I have one of those also. Question of what on earth it really is. Some here believe they are fake. I look it as a curiosity mainly.

Those cards are just a little undersized. The first time I saw one I suspected it to be an older reprint of sorts. I think there's a thread in the archives that addresses these and someone actually researched the Royer Confectioner business to see when it was doing business at the address identified on the back of the card. Good luck finding that thread.

Here are all the threads with the term "royer" in it.

It appears to be old. I am going to try and do some research on it and post what I find.
