Thanks for adding the pic of the back, Bill. Looks like a 20's strip card that I have not seen before. Maybe others can ID it. Nice find.

I have seen thousands of strips and never seen one like that. Very interesting.

Curious caption-"P&A photo" for a line drawing.

I did a quick search for P&A Photo. but found nothing of value.

Purely a hunch but it looks like some kind of game piece to me.

I’m voting for a reprint made not in the era. Hate that modern font on the name and the thick stock.

That was my first thought but why?

No clue on what this is - but P & A photo probably stands for Pacific & Atlantic photo. They provided the photo for one card (out of the 120) in the W572 set.

Cheers,

This card reminds me of a mystery one I have that seems to have, for some reason, been produced many decades after the strip card era. Here is a link to the thread that a helpful Net54'er pinned down the source of the image, and scans of the mystery card and a W515, both of which seem to have been derived from the same photo, shown below.

Here's a link to what looks like original photo... from here one of our uniform experts can probably date the card...
