Yellowstone National Park - Fishing Cone

POSTCARD YP5       [last updated 07-13-2015]



I have nine distinct views of Postcard YP5.

Differences to the front:
     Three different cloud layouts - BB 5, BB 7 & 9, BB 1, 2, 3, 4, 6 & 8
     Cone colored slightly darker or lighter with no definitive tie to each variation
     BB 5, 7 & 9 has 91049 added in black text at the bottom right
     The title textcolor on BB 5, 7 & 9 is black, BB 1, 2, 3, 4, 6 & 8 is red
     BB 5, 7 & 9 has no period after 'Y. P. 5' like BB 1, 2, 3, 4, 6 & 8

Differences to the back:
     Stamp box alike on BB 2, 3, 4 & 6 while BB 1 says 'PLACE STAMP HERE' and BB 5 & 7 says 'PLACE ONE CENT STAMP HERE'
     Bloom Bros. logo in lower left on BB 1, 2, 5, 7 & 9 but centered at the bottom on BB 3, 4 & 6
     Dividing line has 'C. T. AMERICAN ART' on BB 2, 3, 4 & 6 but 'C. T. AMERICAN ART COLORED' on BB 1, 5 & 7
     Just right of top center, BB 1 has 91049, BB 2 has A-91049, BB 3, 4 & 6 has R-91049
     BB 4 has 'PUBLISHED FOR GRAY NEWS CO., SALT LAKE CITY, UTAH. MADE IN U S A' in the left margin
     BB 6 has 'PUBLISHED BY GRAY NEWS CO., SALT LAKE CITY, UTAH. MADE IN U S A' in the left margin
     'C. T. AMERICAN ART COLORED' on BB 1 is a different font than BB 5, 7 & 9
     BB 5, 7 & 9 text 'THIS SPACE FOR ADDRESS ONLY' is more compact and does not have a period like BB 1 through 4
     BB 1, 5, 7 & 9 share the CT Co. Chicago logo at the bottom center
     BB 5, 7 & 9 font for 'POST CARD' is different than BB 1, 2, 3, 4 & 6
     BB 5, 7 & 9 identical except for the ink used (BB 7 & 9 with purple vs. BB 5 with blue)
     BB 8 & 9 are from postcard folders (BB 8 from a foldout and BB 9 with postcards with perforated left edge)

Earliest Postmark:
     Bloom Bros. Type 1 - None
