JBR 164b: 1947 Marusaka Sepia Type 2

Sakazawa (on right) - added 6/22/25
Victor Starffin - added 6/14/26
I think these were originally thought to be more detailed versions of JBR 163: 1946 & 1947 B&W Street Clothes, but the glove image and the "small heart at the edge of the Marusaka logo connecting it to a second logo containing the letters SBP" seem to fit more precisely with JBR 164b.

UNC Stamp Cards w/ raised drawings

Odd set of cards that almost seem like they are meant to be used as stamps - all of the illustrations are raised above the card, almost in a thick felt-like material. Clearly not meant to actually be a stamp (since the images aren't backwards) though.

Betto - added 6/13/26
