Thank you,

Can't tell you much but it does narrow it down quite a bit that they all look like dodgers for the most part

Also... They are from 1950.

#1 Looks like Carl Furillo

#3 front looks like George Kell, I'll try to find the other guy with Boston hat when I get home, Ive seen that image before

I believe the images used for that issue where from the R423 strips with the single sided rectangle and octagon charms issued in 1950 and the double sided charms issued in 1952...

I just realized that # 2 and # 3 reverse appear to be the same player.

thanks for your help again gentlemen.

I have the Jackie Robinson somewhere?

As you have properly listed them - 50s charms - don't know if you're aware - but it's believed that the pics were taken from the R423 strip cards.

It's hard to find a reference with a list of the actual pics.

My guess?

Charm #2 - Mel Parnell

Charm #3 (front) - Whitey Lockman

You can find examples of strips on the net - but it's hard to find a large enough scan of the strips to pick these guys out fer sure.

Plus - right now - there's no Parnell or Lockman for sale on ebay.

These came out of charm vending machines in the 50s.

Notice in the Berk Ross issue - the pics are similar with respect to the head shot with the R423.

I think this just about nails the first one.

The best I could find right now - there's a similarity - Lockman on the lefthand side of the strip.

Hey thanks you guys. Great work. So it seems like # 1 could be Carl Erskine, # 2 and 3 reverse ARE Mel Parnell and # 3 front is probably Lochman. Now I can get them on ebay. Again, thanks for the great information.Bob

Hi Bob

I think - like Sean - that #1 is Carl Furillo.

milbroco

Yep, I think that is correct. carl Furillo it is. thanks for the 51 Bowman scan for comparison.
