THANK YOU!!!

A scan of the front and back always helps.

Also - please turn off the cap locks.

GIZMO?

Sounds like him ....

To the original poster- there is a good chance someone on this board will have an idea of what it is. If you can post a picture it will help. If you can't then you can send me a jpg image (scan) and I will post it for you...though I will be in and out today I will do it as soon as I can.....so send away if you want some help...and do please turn your caps lock key off.

there will be an image posted any time now...thank you

front images and back image (emailed to me)

I don't know what it is - but maybe someone here does.

Most likely cut off of an advertising piece and never intended to be a card....imo.....I could be wrong but that's an educated guess....

Hard to tell if it is even period. All that fuzziness is never a good sign.

you could be right...it either seems too be cut from something or maybe some sort of strip card..but i have no clue

Blotchy, unnatural staining to give the appearance of age. At least to these eyes.

it is fuzzy in this pic..for some reason i can not seem too get a clear pic of this card..i dont know if it is the color or what it could be

Jeff -

the lighting/background for the picture of the back of the item was just fine. It worked.

I don't know why you would change it for the front - but the change didn't work for the photograph.


Also - in general a scan (using a scanner) is better than taking a photo of an item.

I agree that, from the scans shown, it looks to probably be a more modern piece.....not period.....would know better if I were holding it to feel the stock.... (and to be able to smell it ) regards

I am happy this is a gehrig, and not a johnson.

LMAO!

Not that there's anything wrong with that, Leon.

Joe D.

Or an Annis.

yeah it would be a big..just a shame not many ppl live near pennsylvania or in it..

Not from a known vintage set. Most likely modern.

It looks like a cut-out from a (possibly vintage) periodical that has been pasted onto a piece of cardboard.
