1869 Peck & Snyder Observation & Question

[Archive]

Posted By: Andy Baran

Attached are scans of the backs of 4 different 1869 Peck & Snyder Cincinnati Red Stocking cards (3 trade cards and 1 cdv). As you can see, all of them have differences. The main observation that I noticed is that there are 2 different addresses listed for Peck & Snyder:

1.) 126 Nassau Street (2 examples)

2.) 22 Ann Street (2 examples)

I have thought of several possible reasons for these differences:

- Maybe there were 2 Peck & Snyder locations in 1869, and the cards were produced to be used at both addresses with the specific address for the location?

- Maybe Peck & Snyder's address changed during 1869, and they reflected the address change by changing the address on the cards? If this is the case, then some of the cards may be older than others.

- Maybe Peck & Snyder's address changed sometime after 1869, and they re-issued the Cincinnati Red Stockings cards with the new address? If this is the case, then some of the cards are definitely older than others.

- Some other reason that I'm not thinking about?

DOES ANYONE HAVE ANY INSIGHT?
