We have been unable to find any information so far on Ruth Welch Siver. Our cards bearing this name are all marked "Made in USA" and are on good quality paper. There are no other publisher's marks. The name does appear to be "Siver" on these signed cards, but is often written as Ruth Welch Silver when the cards pop up on Etsy, Ebay, etc.

The cards appear to be from the 1910s and 1920s, possibly early 1930s. Siver created many "Kewpie" style figures, very similar to Rose O'Neill's characters, as well as the figures seen in our cards here, that are similar to some of Charles Twelvetrees' work.
