Entertainment in British Public Houses can be found from the strangest sources.
Match the top half of Charles Dickens' head,on a banknote,with the bottom half of H.M.The Queen's head,on another banknote,and a ''deadringer'' for Tennis legend,John MacEnroe,emerges.
So it seems that the Xerox photo,depicting two U.S.Postal keys,on chain,with a pen shaped key flashlight,as a composite,resembles Groucho Marx,smoking a cigar.
This,as an enclosed addition to the 1990 Eureka Christmas Card,mailed to the San Francisco Chronicle,in December of that year.
Many,perhaps,look too much into the significance of the two keys depicted [?].
I would suggest that,if there is anything further to be gleaned from the Xerox photo,it is actually,to identify the pen shaped key flashlight - then,possibly,its source [?].
Examining the Xerox photo,with a magnify glass,one can make out some of,which looks like,a commercial inscription.
The inscription appears to start : BUY.....
The market for small forms of torches and flashlights,seems to be huge [!].Devotees,include the military,camping fraternity and motorists.Also,just keen collectors and purchases made in bulk,to offer as free gifts.
Access to this merchandise,in 1990,was mostly through ''small print'' advertisements,in boy's and men's journals.
Equally,there are a large number of manufacturers,including ''Maglite'' and ''Porche'' at the ''top end'' of the market.
But,I do believe that I have come across the manufacturer of the ''key torch'' featured in the Xerox photo.
It is a ''top twenty'' make,called ''BuyHere''....an unusual name,but they still operate as a designer and manufacturer,of small torches and flashlights.
So,for anyone interested,a little research task,to establish precise source [?].

A solution to the riddle of the two keys [?].
In December 1990,the SF Chronicle received a Christmas card,sent from Eureka,CA.,and now believed to have been the work of the Zodiac.Depicted on the front of the card,was a snowman,with a ''Groucho Marx'' mask.Inside the card was added a Xerox photo of an ensemble,including two postal keys.
Though the ensemble seems to represent an abstract composite of Groucho Marx,smoking a cigar,the significance of the two keys has always been assumed to suggest a further message from the Zodiac.
In Cryptography,there is an algorithmic philosophy,known as ''Two Keys'',where it is proffered that a high degree in difficulty for a cryptogram to be solved,can be attained,by creating an encryption cipher and a decryption cipher.
Effectively,''Two Keys''.....known as The Private Key.....and The Public Key.
It is my belief that Zodiac had read about this algorithmic philosophy,and though not fully understanding its theory,thought it a mischievous tool,in order to send to the authorities.That,in effect,the experts on Cryptanalysis would know what ''Two Keys'' meant,and further scratch their heads over the cryptograms,left by Zodiac,that remained unsolved.
Had the term ''Cipher Slayer'' gone to Zodiac's head ?
The ''proof'' certainly still appeared to be in the pudding.
And it did seem to be the case that,it was not just murders,that remained unsolved.

No...completely your imagination,Davb2,and not the first time.
The closest anyone came before,is to believe that the inscription,was BUX...
Which was incorrect.

Hi BlaiseStarr,and thanks for complimenting this site,with an interesting contribution.
Your own site looks very nicely laid out,and of initial great interest.I will certainly take more time to digest some of your propositions.
Indeed,there is a possibility with respect to the Zodiac subliminally,or otherwise,alluding to ''George''.Not least that St.George is known to have ''slain the dragon''.
The expression ''Riding the Dragon'',apart from an opium related connotation,refers to the ''Son of Satan's'' attempts to wrestle control from his father,Satan.
So,illustrations such as the Zodiac's ''Dragon Card'',may be inferring that the Zodiac had a problem with a father-like figure,for whom he was in conflict.
Many suggestions have been put forward,in the past,with respect to the two keys significance.At the time that the Eureka card was sent,science magazines were exploring the cryptographer's theory on decryption of ciphers,by means of a ''public'' and ''private'' key,employed by clever cipher makers.So,it's possible that the Zodiac,as a ''homebrew'' cipher maker,was attempting to show off to the authorities,that his knowledge was greater,than they perceived.
After all,twenty years had elapsed,and the FBI were no closer to solving the Zodiac's ''340'' cipher...and it was beginning to take on iconic status.
And,''well done'',by the way,for tracing the ''questionable'' ''Greetings from Ireland'' card,to a 1939 postcard,from Canada.To at least establish,that this correspondence,sent to this site,on the 50th anniversary of Cheri Jo Bates' murder....was a ''modification'' of artwork already established....is an extra clue gleaned,in attempting to establish,whether the correspondence is authentic Zodiac,or not.
At present,the card seems to be a hoax [?].But,by no means certain.
Perhaps you might consider becoming a member,here.
I am sure that further contributions from you,would be valued.

Hi again,BlaiseStarr.
Just on having another browse at your website,I happened to focus on your section on the ''special signature'' entered in the Zodiac's Halloween Card.
I had never seen anyone's interpretation of the ''4 Dots'',as Braille for '' I E ''.
Nice one.
Combined with your ''Phoenician'' interpretation,I see that you are left with : '' G I E J ''.
Have you considered,the Latin '' ie '' ,which stands for '' id est '',meaning '' that is to say '' [?].
Hence, '' G I E J '' could mean : '' G - that is to say - J ''.
In other words : '' Someone known as '' G '',could also be known as '' J '' '' .
'' Two Keys '' can often work better,than '' one '' ?
[..pardon my forwardness...]

Hi Rubislaw32. Thank you for the warm greeting. Many other places have not been quite as welcoming when introducing new ideas. I do believe the Zodiac used many subliminal methods within his works or as I call it, an artists perspective through hiding things in plain sight for the viewer to interpret. The only way this works is when you find pairings in other ways that strengthen what you are seeing; which I have found while working on the Halloween card and more. To answer a few items you brought up, first the Phoenician letters and the braille that resembles 4 dots of the signature in the Halloween Card was actually found by Monster of Zodiac. I had re-quoted his work on my blog because it strengthened my case because he had found the letter G as well as J within the signature. Previously I had found the J but I had never found the G until I saw his post. I had not thought of the 4 dots symbolism in braille as "IE" the way you brought it up but it now actually makes more sense to me. So thank you for that. But I would think it would be used slightly differently than you mentioned. To explain this, I believe the zodiac created his Halloween Card in a coded layered process. Basically you go over the card following a code to get your first information and then you go over it again and again in the same spots and it reveals something new each time. Each individual letter in the initials was introduced at different times with other clues to associate with them. From the way things laid out in the code I came to the conclusion that there are in fact two people mentioned in the card and not just one. I also found hints to this in many other places in different cards / letters and codes. From my understanding, my theory from all of my research is that one person goes by the name Frank / George and the other goes by the name John / Jack. Now back to the Braille 4 dots which resembles "IE". The 4 dots in my code has also resembled the letter B for a last name which was found as Bannan. If we are referring to two people and the braille 4 dots = "IE" which the 4 dots also resembles the letter B than maybe this is the letter you are referring to. Where one can also be the other. They both have the same last name. Frank / George ie Bannan Jack / John ie Bannan This was something I had already suspected in the past and the idea of "IE" in Latin brought it to the surface. This is the link to my partial work on the Halloween card just referencing the letter initials and not the full code I found within. The full code was complicated and hard for me to explain properly. zodiackillerrevealed.wordpress.com/2018/11/06/looking-at-the-initials-in-the-zodiacs-halloween-card-and-what-connections-i-made-to-find-out-what-the-initials-actually-stand-for/On the subject about the Greetings from Ireland card... Yes it most definitely could be a hoax. I am not placing to much belief on that card as of right now. But it is a very interesting piece to me as the first time I barely glanced it over it had all of the initials staring me in the face that I had mentioned in my posts already as well as quite a few more things I have not as of yet mentioned. The way it is laid out just feels very Zodiac like with his sadistic humor within. It's been one year now since I fell down this rabbit hole and started working on all of this and I am happy to contribute my ideas. I just hope they help in some way down the road whether I am right or wrong. Some information I find might help someone else in their theories down the road.

Very interesting comments,from you,Blaise Starr....and I had started watching your videos on Youtube...so I am getting some of the ''picture'' from where you are figuratively coming from.
Indeed,an ''artist's perspective'' can only add,in a positive way.
My background is,as a trained mathematician and practising landscaper of Victorian and Edwardian gardens.So my ''take'',if you will,is more from a ''logic'' and ''uncovering'' perspective.Perhaps more suited to the actual cryptograms and cipher keys.
But we can all add something,if there is passion of purpose [?].
What is clearly evident,and seems to ''tweak'' our senses,time and time again,is the ''duplicitous'' nature of the beast,that is ''The Zodiac'.
He simply revelled in providing the potential solver of his riddles and puzzles,more than one solution available,to be found.
Only in most,but not all of his cryptograms,is there a single solution.
Just on the matter of the ''Greetings from Ireland'' card...I think it ''reasonable'' to try to expose these hoaxers,if possible.Much time is spent,quite rightfully,on the murders of the Zodiac..but often his practise of ''extortion'',is overlooked as having caused much grief,to many.And ''hoaxing'' plays a substantial role in these ''threats by menacing means''.
So,if the ''Zodiac community'' finds itself unable to contain ''hoaxing'' from within....then what chance do we avail our selves of exposing the Zodiac [?].
Good to share thoughts with you,Blaise Starr,and good to have you aboard this ''ZKM'' site.
Welcome....and look forward to visiting your site,more often.

Following up on the George post... Recently I was looking into just the anagram of the "my name is letter" to see if any of the names fit from the ones I have found. I was told that the target symbol might not need to be used as it is Zodiacs symbol. I also have a feeling it could be used as a wild card possibly. If that is true than this is what I have found for the name George Bannan from my earlier blog post of how George could be a name he used. My Name is letter coded message.....AEN (Target Symbol) 8K8M8wNAM Using George Bannan to solve.........GBA (Target symbol) NONENRAGE Message perceived as....................{G Banon Enrage)
Also if you look up the name Bannan the name changes with the times and Banon as well as Bannon is also a family heritage name used.
If the target symbol is a wild card then it could be (G Bannon Enrage)
Target symbol = 10 according to the Bomb diagram page.
Anyways just wanted to share a possibility. I'm not sure I did this right as I have never tried an anagram before.

A nice contribution to this site,and this section,in particular,Blaise Starr.
You have laid out your solution method,simply and understandable.
When I first looked at this '' Z 13 '' crytogram puzzle,I homed in on the Zodiac's employment of the three '' 8-ball '' symbols,and saw them as,possibly,his hint that this was the means to unlock the mystery.And,you,as I perceive,have taken an initial similar approach [?].
Where we differ is,that I am not convinced that a cryptogram,this short,would be an anagram to be solved.
But,''vive la difference'' [!]
In addition,that your ''final solution'',is someone's actual name [ George Bannan ].Well,Zodiac did,after all,introduce the cryptogram,with ''My name is ---''.
My attitude to this extortionist and serial killer,is probably more cynical than yours [?].
I shall ''cheekily'' ask of you,who George Bannan is ? Is he a personal suspect ?
Of course,I don't expect you to answer that.
Nice effort....and who is to claim that you are incorrect ?
This could be the solution...and George Bannan could be the Zodiac.
