1921 Cincinnati Reds Postcard - Experts needed!
 

Posted By: <b>Dan Bretta</b><p>Picked this one up off of ebay last week and just got it in....This is actually Fritz Coumbe and not "Combs" as the postcard says - wondering if this is from a series or just a one of a kind real photo postcard. The postcard has raised lettering on the bottom border that says "W.H Pennoyer".<br /><br /><img src="http://i22.photobucket.com/albums/b331/nudan92/Vintage%20Baseball%20Memorabilia/coumbe.jpg"><br /><br /><img src="http://i22.photobucket.com/albums/b331/nudan92/Vintage%20Baseball%20Memorabilia/coumbe2.jpg">

Posted By: <b>davidcycleback</b><p>It has the photographer's dry stamp (embossed), which might suggest it was sold. Most real photo postcards don't have the photographer's/studio's name. If it was sold commercially, the photographer would want his name on it. <br /><br />At the least, it would appear that the postcard is by a professional photographer and not a home made job.<br /><br />Also, I also wonder if the stamp and "Bill" letter are from the same man.

Posted By: <b>Dan Bretta</b><p>Thanks David....It does appear to be a professional photograph. It looks like the photo was touched up on his left hand.

Posted By: <b>Dan Bretta</b><p>Is it safe to assume that none of the postcard guys in this chatroom have seen this WH Pennoyer stamp on a postcard before???
