Help with Jackie Robinson "Baker Management Service" Photo
 

I try not to ... but every once in a while I take a chance on something I know very little about. So recently I picked up the attached photo of Jackie Robinson - because I recognized it as the pose used on the Old Gold card and a RPPC.

I'm trying to get an age on when this item was made. Late 1940s/early 1950s - or is it newer?

Can anyone tell from the photo whether this an original photo - or is it some sort of old reprint?

I also have no idea who Baker Management service is. Does anyone know anything about "Baker Management Service"? I did a google search - and the address appears to be a residential home, so maybe a mom and pop consulting company?

If you have any insights on what this is that I just acquired - I'd be curious to hear them!

Thanks,
Patrick

It appears vintage '40s-50s. It's not an original photo but appears old.

Thanks!

It looks like no one else knows who Baker management Service is - but it was worth a try!

A quick check on the name of the company comes up with this from the April 21, 1956 Philly Enquirer:

Attachment 380043

So I'm guessing this was part of some mail-in contest or redeemable offer for something or other.

Interesting! Thank you!
