Thanks for the responses; would this be considered a Type 1 photo?

Love it! That is exactly how I titled it when I saved the scan

From what I can see, it appears to be ORIGINAL at least. Stamping style looks right for the time period, and has remnants of original paper caption affixed. Type 1 technically requires the photo to have been printed within 2 years of when it was shot, so without any specific date stamps or dated caption, you'll get differing opinions on whether you can technically call it a Type 1, but my guess would be that the original caption had the proper date.

Might be a novice question, but is Wagner showing Ruth his "batting grip"?

Default 1936 BB Writers Dinner
The Ruth / Wagner photo was taken at the January 1936 Baseball Writers dinner at the Hotel Commodore in NYC

Attached are two other photos taken the same night. A friend of mine used to have a ton of Babe Ruth negatives with the envelopes and captions and I made contact prints of all of them many years ago.



This one shows them with Joe DiMaggio and Ed Barrow
