These make me smile!

 

I bought this photo, with many others, from the estate sale of the young boy in the photo. He was by then an older man and was deceased. He was born in 1924 and I am guesstimating this photo is from about 1930. One of the hangars is marked "Tootsietoy Airport."

 

Neat photo!!! He was a lucky kid!!!!

 

And here is a photo of the mother of the Tootsietoy boy...

 

Then again, maybe Mom was keeping sonny busy whilst she was out campaigning!!!!

 

Suffragette photos can be quite desirable.

Very cool photos.

 

A recent purchase... No name, unfortunately, but I thought she had a similar look to Mary (Patsy) Cornwallis-West.

 

I don't know who that is, but it's a GREAT CDV!!!! And VERY similar to your link!!!

 

Thanks, I think so too! I bought a whole mixed batch at the same time but this was the one I really wanted... ;-)

 

Home photo or common?

 

Olive and Mayme unknown, illinois

 

Huntingtreasure, those are two of the cutest, sweetest photos of two adorable children I have ever seen. What precious little children.

 

Thank you, and I agree. I’ve become quite attached to my album. Will post more in the coming days.

 

Oh good. I'll be on the lookout for more photos.

 

Unlabeled. I think the one on the left maybe Mayme from photos above.

 

Top photo is from my album.
The bottom one is from Find a Grave with family of one of the last names in my album.

 

@yourturntoloveit -one more baby pic above.

 

Oh my goodness, what a nice old photo of a precious duo of cutie-pie babies.

 

Hi everyone. New here. Figured I'd share this Brady CDV. Anyone recognize this guy?

 

The one on the right is beyond chubby cheeked!

Chances are he shall ever remain nameless, as do so many cameo portraits of gentlemen. And ladies, who are rarer.

Does anyone know of someone who can matte photos in the old way with openings that aren't rectangular & have some gilt around the edge, etc., or should I just be on the lookout for damaged/poor quality photos in mattes that would suit my needs? After buying an old frame painted in trompe l'oeil manner to mimic black & white marble already holding a studio portrait of a mother & child in an elaborate matte, decided I liked how it looked on my wall, bought a couple more trompe l'oeil frames & an assortment of old studio photos of children. But they need mattes, & won't look right in a simple modern type. Ideas?
