Postcard has a 4 square AZO back (1927-40), if anyone can help me get a more accurate date for this postcard that would be great!

Gotta be after 1934. Louis went pro around that time and became a big deal quickly. Before that he'd not have been of interest enough to get a whole team to take a photo. If I had to guess I'd say 1937 or so when he won the title and became a star.

Thanks for the help Adam! I'm going to catalogue it as a C.1937 Real Photo Postcard.

I inadvertently ended up in a Hughie Jennings "ee-yah" stance when I saw the Oms postcard.

Wow. Great pick-up!

I really don't consider myself a postcard collector, but I've been wanting this postcard for awhile now. Decided to go to an antique show today and stumbled across this. It is stamped and postmarked 1910.

Happy, yet sad, because the hunt is over.

Jantz, great PC! No need to be sad, because you now get to begin a new hunt!
