Andy:

The fact that Snyder had split off and produced his own catalog by 1875 makes me think that he had LEFT "Peck & Snyder" by that time (although the company obviously left the name unchanged).

This would be consistent with the fact that Andrew Peck is the ONLY signature on the back of the two "Nassau Street" cards that you have shown.

Maybe those were produced "after" Snyder left the company, so maybe the move to Nassau Street occurred at the time of that break-up.

Again ... ALL SPECULATION.

I am searching for any publication with a pre-1869 address for Peck & Snyder Sporting Goods.
