many obaks have a # stamped on them...many believe this came from the factory perhaps...not likely this type of stamp was also seen on a t206...in my opinion.

That's probably right. I just figured it was on a T206 because I hardly ever look at Obaks.

Default Purple rained all over my Obak

Like Peter mentioned the purple stamps are indeed very common on Obaks.

Any more ideas, thoughts, theories about the F.Scott Obak? Thanks so far for the input.

I'm curious if anyone has seen stamps with other letters in the same font. If there are similar Gs and Cs and Ss and Ws out there that suggests maybe the F stamp wasn't unique to one collector (Fitzgerald or otherwise). But if we only see Fs in this font, that makes it likely they were all either done by the same stamp/person or that any that weren't were attempts to copy to original stamp.

Thought I would repost this thread from a couple years ago, as it might renew some interesting discussion on this topic. Also I wanted to celebrate finally changing my avatar from a 1921 Zeenut which I do not own to this interesting, colorful card.

In addition to what RCM says, his Wikipedia page also says he actually lived there for a while beginning as early as 1927. Same theory as what RCM suggested but he may have been out there about a decade earlier. It also says that he began selling some of his work to movie studios in the 1920s, so he certainly could have been visiting there since the early 20s. That at least gets you a little closer to the production date of 1910.

There have been a couple of other interesting threads concerning the 'F' stamp. Here is a link to one of them:

The purple numerical stamps are factory. They also appear on some Pet and Kopec cards.
