ORPHAN PHOTO # 124 Vintage Real Postcard 1900s Dressed in Best Coat and Hat

This orphan photo is a vintage real post card from the early 1900s. Sadly there is no name to help identify this young woman. She is all dressed up to go out to visit friends in her coat and hat with flower on the side. I wish I could see the dress it appears simple and light weight and may have a design to match the hat. You can see a bit of design on the left side.

Back of post card is not divided and has AZO in stamp area. This post card is from the era of 1901 to 1907.

Orphan Photo # 89 Pretty Black Woman Vintage late 1800's Sepia

This vintage photo was found among family photos on my mother's side. I am guessing she was a friend of my great grandmother Katherine or Katherine's sister Mary. No name on the back so do not know who she was. There is light penciling on the back but can not make it out.

She is a pretty black lady from the late 1800's to the early 1900's. She probably lived in the Wisconsin area. She is wearing small little stud earrings. What is on her hat is a mystery to me.

Wish I knew who she was so I can match her to family.

Orphan Photo # 61 Vintage Tin Type Photo of Young Lady With Her Hat

Today's posting is of a vintage Tin Type from the late 1800's to early 1900's. It is a young lady in probably her best dress. Her dress has a big bow at the front with what looks like a pin holding it together. On the table is her hat. It also appears she has a small bow in her hair and wearing a ring on her right hand. Sadly we have no identification to let us know where it was taken or who she is.

Hope that you are enjoying my vintage photos and will stop by 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.

Orphan Photo # 51 CDV Fantastic hat

One more wonderful vintage CDV photo of an elderly lady in her fantastic hat. What a wonderful photo. She is dressed in probably one of her best dresses. It is a plaid material with a large ruffle in the bodice area. Her hat is has a small brim and a large feather standing straight up from the top.

Back is marked 1899 Merry Christmas and has the last name of Peet of New York, the same as the previous posting. The first name has been erased by some material being stuck to the back side of the photo. First name might start with an In and then a middle initial of E. She is could be the sister or sister in law of previous posting.

Thanks For Stopping By.. Grace

Orphan Photo # 50 CDV Great Hat

Take a peek at another vintage CDV I have of ladies in wonderful hats. This one is a older lady all dressed up in her best and with a hat. Fantastic hat in at least two colors ( of course this is black and white so no idea what color it was) . Has a piece that stands up, and some fluff at back of head. If you look closely you can see she is wearing eyeglasses. They have a chain so she can hang them around her neck.

Bonus is that this is identified . Lady name is Maria Peet and is written Christmas 1899 and that is from New York. Town looks like Cerenovia or something like that.
