Default Ty Cobb In the Matheson Silent Six Auto

Very rare Cobb postcard from 1910 which until recently, I was unaware came in two different versions, both with Barney Oldfield and Davy Jones -- but with a different driver and copy on the cards. Otherwise the cards are identical:

You sure do know your Cobb postcards. I would never have noticed these being different until seeing them in the same post. Thanks for sharing, very cool.

I agree, and I imagine they got used for promotion of the company, so the big wig had to get one behind the wheel too.

Yes, identical postcards other than Cobb switching seats with the car rep.

I am pretty sure that the other driver is Barney Oldfield, probably the most famous race car driver of the early 20th century.
