Orphan Photo # 34 Tin Type

Here is another vintage tin type photo. This one is of a beautiful young woman. Her hair is done up and she is wearing a cross around her neck. She has a scarf around her neck also. I do not remember any of my other vintage photos having a cross around the ladies neck. Interesting, I will have to watch for other's posing with their cross.

Tin type is in a paper frame and the tin type is scratched sadly. I love these old tins. I probably bought this while I was living in Minnesota. No markings to tell me where she lived or who she was.

Thanks for stopping by...

Orphan Photo # 33 Tin Type

One of my favorite old photos is tin types. This one is of a darling little girl. She is probably about 5 years old. Sadly no name to go with it.

Orphan Photo # 32

This cabinet photo that is of a middle age man with a mustache and curly hair in probably his best suit. Came out of a photo album I bought some time ago. There was a name written in the photo album in pencil but hard to know what his name may really be. Looks like W W Warnard. Nothing on the photos identifies where or who photographed.

This is one of many orphan photos I have bought to sell on eBay either to collectors or better yet a family member. http://stores.ebay.com/TurnAbout01

Thanks For Stopping By ... Grace

Orphan Photo #31 Winona Minnesota

This orphan photo is one I found when living in Minnesota. It is a cabinet photo of a young couple from Winona Minnestoa area. Was photographed by Morgenelur Bergeron Photograph Studio.

Sadly there is no name on the photo so they are unknown couple from the late 1800's to early 1900's.

Thanks For Stopping By... Come again

Orphan Photo # 30 Minnesota

My orphan photo is of a beautiful young woman from the Minneapolis Minnesota area. Photograph was taken by E I Rugg of Hennepin Avenue.

Sadly there is not name on photo to tell us who she was.

Orphan Photo # 29 Wisconsin

Another orphan cdv photo in my collection for sale on eBay. So sad that they get separated from family. No name to tells us who this man was.

He did live in the Racine Wisconsin area and the photographer was Thomas on college avenue in Racine.

Orphan Photo # 28 Texas Houston 1894 School Children

This is a wonderful old photo of school children from 1894 that I found at an antique store recently. It is so sad that some one did not keep this within there family.

Photo is faded, but still can make these cute faces. Back of photo says

Felton first grade Jordy school Houston Mar 15 1894.

I have not been able to find if there was a school called Felton or if that is Jordy last name.

I will be offering for sale and hopefully find someone who knows an ancestor that may be in this photo or someone who collects vintage photos of children.

Orphan Photo 27 Vermont Masked Cabinet Parker

Here is another postmortem cabinet photo in my vintage photos. This one is sad since it is of two young children. This poor family lost two children at or near the same time.

Makes me think of my great great grandparents Betsey and Dwight Day who lost 3 children to scarlet fever within a months time.

Top of photo in back written in pencil is Parker children Bradford Vermont. The Photographer was Bracy of Wells River Vermont.

The children appear to be little boys about a year or two apart. I will be putting this picture up for sale in my eBay store. May link up to a distant family member some day.

Thanks for stopping by... Have a great day... Grace

Orphan Photo 26 Masked Cabinet Mr.Templeton

A treasure from the past are cabinet photos, but this is a different type of cabinet photo. It is a postmortem photo.

They are telling us that this person has past on. They would take a previous cabinet photo and enclose it in falling leaves or another design to tell that they had died.

This one I picked up at an estate sale here in the Houston Texas area.

Appears to be a young man either in late teens or early 20's.

No mention of photographer.

Back of photo in light pencil is written what looks like H W Templeton.

Orphan Photo 23 24 and 25 Real Postcards

Today was a " Lets Go Antiquing " day. My quest was for vintage postcards and photos of interest to me and others to tell you about and to sell on eBay.

I found several wonderful items today, I am starting with 3 vintage real photo postcards all are of young women wearing glasses.

I rarely find a vintage photo with someone wearing glasses and today I found three all at the same Antique store and same dealer.

First photo is of three beautiful young women the youngest with a big bow in her hair. This is the only one identified and is marked Myrtle, Floy and Violet.
http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=360203976461&ssPageName=STRK:MESELX:IT
Second post card is two young women probably sisters. I am guessing this is from the late 1910's or 1920's by their clothing. This one is also foreign, stamp area is marked differently and Post card is marked Carte Postale. Probably from France or French / Canadian.


http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=360203976451&ssPageName=STRK:MESELX:IT
Third post card is of a woman a little older but not old. She is dressed in her best coat and gloves. She is also wearing a great hat with some decoration on the side probably a flower and high top shoes.


http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=360203976446&ssPageName=STRK:MESELX:IT
All three post cards are unused and in good condition. The old saying is " Men Don't Make Passes At Girls Wearing Glasses " but I am guessing all these ladies at passes made at them. They are all simply adorable.

I hope that you enjoyed tonight's post and come back to see other treasures I found today. Quite a few of them are vintage Thanksgiving and Christmas Post cards and will be posted on my other site http://www.blogger.com/post-create.g?blogID=4127199388190162153

Orphan Photo #19 Racine Wisconsin

It is so sad to find wonderful old vintage photos with no names on them. This one is an older lady from the Racine Wisconsin area.

Back of photo has photographer's name as Thomas , College ave between twelfth and thirteenth Racine Wisconsin.

Her dress appears to maybe be 3 pieces, a skirt, blouse and looks like a vest over the blouse. There are a light color or white material at sleeve edge and neckline so probably another piece of clothing underneath. Around her neck is a thin tie with white trim in the middle to probably match the collar and neck line. She is wearing a small ring on her left hand.

Sadly this is all I know from this photo.

Orphan Photo # 16 Iowa

Today's posting is on a vintage CVD Card also known as a calling card. It is of a darling little child. Probably a girl. Wearing a ruffled dress and shoes with what looks like a decoration on them. Her hair is fairly short with small curls. Posed perfectly on a beautiful chair.

Sadly there is no name on this picture. Was Photographed by Ensiminger Brothers of Independence, Iowa.

There is some wear on the front and loss of front layer of coloring on upper right corner.

What we know is probably a little girl around 3 or 4 years old, living in or near Independence, Iowa and probably family had some money to buy a nice dress for her to wear for her photo.

This is a Real Post Card of the most adorable baby sitting in a chair sideways. What an adorable pose.

This is addressed to

Miss Ethel Busse

Canton Minnesota

and on correspondence side says

Gladys Boynton or could be Boyston

I went to http://www.ancestry.com/ and found a Gladys Boyton born in Canton, Minnesota in 1915. This could be the same little girl.

She is wide eyed and a real beauty. I probably bought this in Minnesota when I lived there. It is one of my favorite vintage baby photos.

Orphan Photos # 5 to 8 Tin Type

This is a group of 4 pretty young women from my collection of Tin Type Photos.
Sadly their was no indication of who any of them are. I probably bought these while I lived in Minnesota.

Tintypes were produced in the USA from 1856 and became popular from the 1860s. They remained popular into the 1900s and as late as the 1920s.

They are poorer quality and harder to see the detail.

Photographers usually worked outside at fairs and carnivals and as the support of the tintype is resilient and does not need drying, instant photographs can be produced only a few minutes after taking the photograph.

Forgotten Orphan Vintage Photos The Beginning

I have always been drawn to vintage photos. It is sad to see them left behind at estate sales. This blog is my chance to share some of my collection with you. It is not large but grows piece by piece. I especially like to collect vintage photos of children and wedding pictures.
These photos may have been forgotten years ago but for today we are remembering these people.

I hope that you enjoy your time at my place on the internet and visit my other sites. My interests vary and this is my chance to share what I enjoy with all of you.

Tonight I am sharing the first of two photos of children that I just bought at an antique store this week here in Texas.
