This is the second cabinet card of the same policeman from Ohio.
In this image his badge with the number "1" and "Police" is clearly visible. Additionally, his two piece "POLICE" buckle can be clearly seen.

Very nice, thanks for sharing.
I'm in need of expert advice Scott, is there a method of removing a mildew smell from cabinet cards, card stock & paper & what is the best way to store these old pics?
Thanks again walksoftly.
I store mine in protective sleeves, in boxes out of sunlight. You can buy archival sleeves on ebay or through "Bags Unlimited"-- they seem to have the best prices and have every conceivable size. I use the 1.5 mil polypropylene.
As far as the mildew smell, that seems to disappear once you put each individual photo in a sleeve.
