To the original first post, the discovery of this 1905 Olinda Oil Wells picture of him at 17 yrs old and in uniform, is a great way to start 2019!! Thanks for sharing it.
I was just reading his Wiki page and incidentally it has this other, much later picture of him there.

Not that much later, Leon, just four years. He's still only 21 years old in yours. Incidentally, do we know whether those postcards ever got sold, or are your prototypes all there is to that issue? And I'm still looking for the source of that Olinda picture, clearly some kind of guide similar to the Spalding and Reach guides of the period, but right now that's all I know.
