This area of the research has proved to be an interesting blind alley. Delittle, Fenwick & Co. Ltd. (Defco) introduced a rather verbose "1d postage applies" post-1906 back which was used a few years later for Fred Spurgin comic cards published by several different publishers. It was also used for Defco's own comic cards. This back is very uncommon and at first sight the only other comic cards with this back were those published in 1908/9 by E. R. Green of Blackpool - signed by "Syllikuss" or "Teddy Ashton" and it was appropriate to see if there was a connection with the Fred Spurgin cards. Further Research: The latest research on "Syllikus" suggests that there is no simple link to the work of Fred Spurgin, apart from the common back, and there seems to be no reason for me to follow up the activities of Teddy Ashton in any detail. However if there are any further odd-ball cards, such as the baby's bottle, this might suggest that Teddy Ashton was a candidate for the identity of "Syllikuss." |
