I sold this item. There is no doubt this item is from the 1930's and not a modern reproduction. Burke and Brace started making photographs around 1922 or so if I remember correctly and they took original photos of ballplayers who were current at the time, and then took Photographs of the photos they did not have in their archeives or whome they could not get an original of themselves. This is why you will find a Burke and Brace photo from the 1920's or 1930's of a player like Ty Cobb with the words "Reproduced" on the back. The photo is not original to them so they can not take full credit for it, but the actual photo itself is an original Burke and Brace from the pre-war era.
