Left: Piltz 75. Right: Gilboy 23, postmarked Oakland 10/16/1941. The positions of the pedestrians under the Shanghai Low marquee match in both cards, so they must start from the same image. The Gilboy card includes updated cars, Shrine banners, and "Welcome Nobles" added at the bottom of the hanging sign, so presumably it is modified for a Shriners convention. The lamppost just south of Shanghai Low in Piltz does not appear on Gilboy, I'm unsure whether it is added in Piltz or deleted in Gilboy. Chinatown: Shanghai Low shows more postcards with images of this location.
