This is no proof- but i do find it interesting- that the illustration has no pocket, on the bib. https://flic.kr/p/2ibfdhK" rel="nofollow">  https://flic.kr/p/2ibfdhK" rel="nofollow - thumbnail 35 by https://www.flickr.com/photos/52982610@N06/" rel="nofollow - bottleswest , on FlickrChinese Company https://flic.kr/p/2ibfcXX" rel="nofollow">  https://flic.kr/p/2ibfcXX" rel="nofollow - thumbnail 37 by https://www.flickr.com/photos/52982610@N06/" rel="nofollow - bottleswest , on FlickrA possible link, I'll explain in another thread. |

I want to say Augustus, been so long I’m not sure, I did receive a call- years ago from A guy named Paul Elfelt, according to him, he was one of 48 Elfelt’s in the US. Paul told me His family had no idea of their Jewish heritage, then he read in his local newspaper a story about His grandfather ( who was still alive at the time) I want to say, Paul lived in Wisconsin? It’s been So many years, I forget that too. |

Really nice billheads! Would you consider selling the Elkhead Shirts billhead? I have an early workshirt made by Elkhead that would pair so nicely with this little piece of history. It's the gem of my collection. Thanks for the consideration. Also, I love this forum! First post and so much to explore. Best, Mitch
