BIRCHWOOD WISCONSIN 1929 BABY ERNEST Orphan Photo # 105

I am a sucker for old photos, I go to an auction, estate sale or antique store and I always have to check out the photos. I find it so sad that they are sitting some where other than a family photo album.
This old snapshot is of baby Ernest who is about 5 1/2 months old in the year 1929. Only identifying mark is written the year, first name and Birchwood Wisconsin.
Will put up for sale in my eBay store and hope that some one will want it because they collect or someone will recognize the people pictured and they will want to add to their family photo.
Till then it sits in my orphan photo album.

Thanks for taking a stop by Grace

ORPHAN CABINET PHOTO # 93 Hard Working Family LaCrosse Wisconsin

Here is another wonderful vintage cabinet photo from my collection. It is of a hard working family from the LaCrosse Wisconsin area. Picture is from the early 1900's probably showing mother, father and two young girls. Sadly I do not know who they are.

On the back is written the names Papperfuss of Lamorlle Minnesota and Mrs. A hackbart Lamoille Minnesota with what looks like address by section and the comment of $15.00 each.
What is the meaning of this. Did the owner of the photo use this as a scratch paper to jot land they were thinking of buying or is a clue to the people in the photo.

We probably will never know but I would love to hook this up with family member some day.





Thanks for visiting me here as I share some of my vintage treasures.... Grace

Orphan Photo # 85 CDV Racine Wisconsin Lady

Hello everyone

Here is another CDV from my collection. This older lady is from Racine Wisconsin. I am guessing this CDV is probably from the early 1900's.

She seems very serious in this photo, but if you look close you can see just the slightest smile. Wonder what she is thinking about as she sits for her photo.

Dressed in her probably her best dress and around her neck she looks to be wearing a long necklace of small beads.

Sadly there is not name so we have no idea who this lady was. Photographer was Thomas on College avenue in Racine.

This was purchased some years ago in Minnesota at an estate sale.

Orphan Photo # 52 CDV Racine Wisconsin


Orphan photo is a Vintage CDV is of a middle age woman from Racine Wisconsin. Sadly there is no name on this photo so no way to identify her. I love to look at these old photos and see how women dressed. These ladies are dressed very proper. No flesh showing, buttons up the front and a large collar. Their dresses always seem so tight across the bodice and arms. This photo is probably from the early 1900's.

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.
