Orphan Photo # 59 Vintage Tin Types Family in Hats


Great vintage tin type photo of an unidentified family. Appears to be two brothers and a sister. All are dressed in their best clothes and wearing hats.

The young man on the left appears to be the youngest of the three and probably a little shorter than his brother. His hat stands up higher so he looks to be the same height.

The young lady is dressed in a blouse and skirt or dressed with embrodery trim on skirt at the lower edge.

This is probably from the late 1800's to early 1900's.

Hope that you are enjoying my vintage photos and will stop back again.. Grace

VTT Orphan Photo # 58 Fanny Sawyer and her friends in their Fantastic Hats


Happy vintage Thingies Thursday... you can visit others at http://coloradolady.blogspot.com/2010/03/vintage-thingies-thursday-history-in.html
Take a peek at one of the greatest vintage photos I have every bought. This one comes from an Estate here in the Houston Texas area. We have four beautiful ladies pictured in their fantastic hats.
Each hat from left to right gets fancier and then you come to number 4 and she stands out all by herself. Her hat is plain and if you look close you can see her bow around her neck matches her hat band. Each of the other ladies have bows around their necks also.
The photo identifies the first lady as Fanny Swayer . There is writing on the back in pencil that I can not make out sadly. , . I have other pictures of her posted recently.. take a peek if you like.

She is pictured with his gun and the birds he has shot. Stamped on the back is E L Cole Malta Bend, Mo. This was probably taken early 1900's.

The birds look like Quail but I am not sure. Great photo and sad that it has gotten separately from family.

Orphan Photo # 52 Bride and Groom Wedding Photo CDV from Sweden



Orphan Photo # 51 is a beautiful vintage CDV wedding photo. Sadly there is no name listed on it. Photographer is Ida Harckner, Malung.
What a beautiful bride in her veil to the floor.I love vintage wedding photos and to see the change in style of wedding dresses.
The groom appears to be a few years older than the bride.
I would date this to the early 1900's or very late 1890's.

Did a google search and found this little bit of information on Malung, Sweden. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Malung

Orphan Photo # 49 Vintage Photo Poses Early 1900's Cute Man in Hat


I love these old photos where there is 4 different poses in a row. This one is of a handsome gentleman dressed in his best suit. His shirt has a wide collar and he is wearing a colorful tie. Second photo he is wearing a hat. What do we know about him? Not much really. Probably in early 20's , probably is a business man or works in an office from the clothing.

Sadly we have no name written on the photo or even know where it is taken. Looking at the chair in the back ground I am guessing this photo is from the early 1900's.
I remember these from the 1950's. You would go into this photo booth. Put in your money and get four different poses.
Some where I have an old photo of my sister and me taken in the 1950's. We are wearing coats and scarfs on our head. Look like 2 poor little urchins.

One of the photos in my banner is of a darling little girl in several poses. I have several photos of her that I bought at an estates. So sad when people part with their family photos.
Hope that you have enjoyed seeing this wonderful vintage photo. Please stop by again . Grace
