Trow and McWilliams Portrait Mug Shots , from the poster
Quote:
"Gene Trow" and "Bill McWilliams"...in the slow process of cleaning off eighty years of grime ; they were exposed to the atmosphere but fortunately not to sunlight ; still crisp and a lot of gloss remaining...the attribution reads "Photo By Saint Paul Daily News" ; the "Saint" is completely spelled out ; on some others they used the abbreviation "St."..... ...my druggist wants to know why I buy so much alcohol and solvents.... ... |
the Saints poster
Hi Mike,
So do I understand you correctly that these are full-size cards that look like they were collected separately and then fitted into the poster (as opposed to a poster from which individuals were cut)? Tim |
Yup
...they are very well-done home-made posters -- nineteen Millers and twenty Saints , both "1935"
..cards are intact.... ...possibly some new vars. and even new confirmations of your rumored names.. ..no Gibson or Crabtree or Spencer or Andrews though... .. |
I actually believe those posters were issued by Worch.
|
They were found in St. Paul, the same city where Worch operated.
|
Mike, do you agree that it seemed to have been a Worch issue? It makes sense to me. I know one person I spoke to sees it as more of a Saint Paul team issue of 1935. I would like to get all the names from the poster, which I still don't have. I can get about half, which I'm about to do-

Interesting find this weekend. I already posted the signed Larry Rosenthal card earlier in this thread. I found this second one on Saturday. I didn't realize there were two different Rosenthals in the set. A pretty nice surprise :)

The 5(MK) is a new grab...too many differences to list without getting a migraine.....neither flip mentions a var so methinks we may have found yet another new one , Tim ......Tim ?? ..Any Worch visible at the National this year ? .. |
