Have you tried using Google image matching software?
Jut checked and it looks like you need a smart phone to use it - I have a flip phone. I have a computer (4 actually). But I do not have a smart phone, tablet or any other "devices"... oh well
Thanks for the thought..
Just fyi, at least on my (laptop) computer, where I use Chrome as the browser, all I have to do is to right-click on the image, and then one of the menu pop-up choices is "search Google for image".
(It didn't find a matching image, but it's possible that the black margin is affecting it. If I had more time this morning, I'd take the image, crop it to the perfs, and then run a search on that. (You have to do it a little differently for an image that resides on your computer, rather than on a webpage. At least it used to work that way. ... Someone will correct this, if I'm wrong.))
Thank you - cropped to the frame. Worked like a charm but no match......
Great tool though -
Terrific! Sorry it didn't get a match, but glad that that's an option you have for the future.
More info for those interested in reverse image searches; reverse image searches are one of the most powerful tools that a hobbyist can use.
I have seen these called 'vanity' labels and that they were made available at retailers before cameras were widely available to the general public. These promotional items may have been sold at cost with the idea that the customer would come back for additional ‘stamps’ made from the original negatives.

Thank you Don - fascinating.
I will have to research the "Vanity label" concept with some Ephemera people. I remember getting into those picture booths in stores with a bunch of friends and getting those small picture strips - it was fun.... not the same but similar in a way/

Actually this is called a Photo Stamp. These were made with a camera patented by the Hulbert Brothers. Patent # 333465. This process was then licensed or sold to the Genelli of St. Louis, MO.
Thank you .
Hopefully someone can identify the person shown. The "stamp" itself has a shiny coating front and rear - appearance is similar to glazed gum.
I have had this for over 30 years but so far no luck. Thanks for
any help you can give.
The original is blurry - this is a 600 dpi scan.
