I know that may not be all the needed info, but I'm just wondering for a general answer. THANKS FOR ANY HELP

Yes, assuming the date stamp is real. With all the encapsulation, price rises, etc., I wouldn't be surprised if there have been a few simple date stamps added to newer photos;e.g-'Apr 15 1927'
Type one? Date stamps do not identify a photo as original - the photo identifies the photo as original. A photo could be created from an original negative outside of the 'Type one' range and still erroneously be identified as a 'type one' because it looks great and is printed with the same process and paper that a true original photograph would be...or inside the range but from another photo rather than a negative, and erroneously be slabbed as a 'type one' because of date stamps.
Look at the date stamps, the quality of the image and the paper.
