Sidney Baker framing stamps

Sidney Baker
Pictures Picture Framing.
510 Hornby St. PAC 2815
Vancouver, B.C.

Text above was hand-stamped on the back of a Hornyansky print, gift of Lance McCaughran, Criterion Books, January 2017. The text below was also stamped on the back of an artwork (unidentified), using a different stamp. Interestingly, although the address is the same, the telephone number changed from SEYmour to PACific. SEYmour was active from 1911 to 1941, and was succeeded by PACific from 1941 to 1958. The earlier second label uses different fonts as well, and the words "Pictures" "Vancouver" and "B.C." are absent.
