SEPIA SATURDAY 153 November 24 2012 Children on Roller Skates and a Bike

Time for Sepia Saturday and the theme is children. One of my favorite photos to look for are children or women in hats. This is one of my favorite vintage photos. Two adorable children one on a bicycle and the other wearing rollerskates. These adorable kids are wearing matching coats and hats. They are so adorable. No names to let us know who they are or a date to let us know when taken.  Guessing some where in the 1930s or 1940s. Would love to hear your ideas of dating this photo.

Take a moment to look at other offerings at Sepia Saturdays. I will be posting my picture there.

    Oh they are so cute in their matching outfits. I'm loving see all the children this Sepia Saturday. I'll be curious to see if anyone else has an idea on the date.

    Possibly the matching coats indicate they are brothers. This kids bicycle resembles the old penny-farthing bicycles. So maybe the picture was taken a little earlier than the 30s. In the background there seems to be a gate of some kind. Charming picture!

    Golly! What a handful they must have been!

    I think I shall be avoiding coming to Sepia Saturday much - I can't stand the plethora of the dreaded Word Verification everybody seems to be hung up on! I truly believe nothing dire happens when you remove it! I have three blogs, and write for three more, and none of them have had problem because WV is absent.:)

    I wonder whether they swapped the bike and roller skates between them. I know I would never, ever have given up my bike.

    What a charming pair in their little matching suits. I have to echo Jinksy's comments. Many people give up and don't comment when there is WV switched on. However, it may be that you were unaware of it being on. if you need help getting rid of it let me know.

    Both on wheels. I wonder how hard it was to get them both to staty still long enough to take the picture.

    Cute photo. Word verification doesn't bother me too much except when I can't actually see the numbers. I find "waiting for approval" more frustrating.

    Abandoned photos of children always make me sad. I'm glad there are bloggers like you devoted to giving them a new life. This one is especially endearing.

    Their outfits have a school uniform look to me. Is there a name for that kind of cap?

    The older boy looks slightly grumpy and I wonder if the younger one is wearing glasses. I can't quite see - need new specs myself :-) Jo
