This vintage real photo postcard features a young man wearing a London Fog type raincoat and a cap. He is smoking a pipe. The young man’s outfit make me think he looks British. Forgive me for stereotyping. Note the gentleman’s long hair. The postcard’s addressee is Rose Getchel and she lived in Park Rapids, Minnesota. The sender was Donnie Page (aka “My Donnie Pal”). The postcard is dated 1913. The stamp box indicates the publisher was Cyko and the date of publication was sometime between 1904 and 1920. This vintage portrait postcard is in good condition (see scans). (SOLD)
This vintage photograph features an elderly man and woman doing something unusual. What’s happening in this image that is so unusual, you might ask? The odd thing about this photo is that the old couple appear to be holding hands. This is not commonly seen in photographs of this “no public displays of affection” era. The man has a wonderful walrus mustache. He looks dressed up in his three piece suit. The woman is bundled up in her outfit as if it is winter. Both are wearing hats. It is difficult to determine if this photograph was taken inside or outside of a photo studio. This photograph measures about 4 3/4″ x 3 1/2″ and is in very good condition (see scans).
Meet Elsie Cook. I wish there was something I could tell you about her. I assume that she is a performer of some kind. Most likely she is an actress that did not receive much acclaim as my initial research into her background found nothing. Perhaps a visitor to the Cabinet Card Gallery can provide us with some information about this pretty young woman. This vintage real photo postcard was published by Stewart & Woolf. The firm was located in London, England. The postcard is part of a series (115, no. 42). (SOLD)
A cute little girl poses for her portrait at the Murillo studio in St. Louis, Missouri. She looks adorable with her sweet smile and her sparkling eyes. She is wearing a necklace and a hair bow. The photographer of this image was the Murillo studio of St. Louis, Missouri. One source reports that the Murillo studio was operated by Jesse J Ferguson and existed at least between 1910 and 1919.

This vintage real photo postcard features two adorable young girls and their toys. The girls certainly appear to be siblings. The younger sister is sitting on a toy horse and the older sister is holding a ball that is covered with ducks. The postcard was purchased from a dealer in Bulgaria. It has great clarity and is in very good condition (see scans).
This vintage photograph appears to be a non nuclear family portrait. Perhaps the three women in the photo are sisters and the little girl is the daughter of the seated woman. The four subjects of this photograph share a family resemblance. The little girl looks sweet and adorable. Note the checkered dress and her hair bow. It’s interesting that the three woman are wearing coats while the child is wearing no coat. Instead, she is wering a short dress, with short sleeves. What’s up with that? This vintage photo is in good condition (see scans).
