[QUOTE="Bakersgma, post: 70720, member: 59"]I found this at an estate sale this morning mixed in with a wide variety of postcards (travel souvenirs, holiday greetings and RPPCs) just because she's a famous face (the only one of this type in the box.) I have questions, but first some oddities. First, her name is spelled wrong (lacking the final t.) Second, the caption is in French - translates as "Her most recent photograph." On the undivided back, it does not have the Standard PostCard Company identifying info on the left side that I have seen on other "Standard Series" cards on the net. So here are the questions. 1. I've seen another exact copy on Amazon dated as 1901-1907 because of the undivided back. Is that correct? Do you know of a way to get more specific? 2. Any thoughts about why it doesn't have the Standard PC Co. information? It definitely feels and looks like an "original" and not a repro (as best I can tell) but is it or not? Does this in some way relate to the misspelling? [ATTACH=full]18300[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]18301[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]
