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

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 # 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

Orphan Photo # 47 Little Girls And Their Dolls .... A Glimpse Of The Past .. Vintage Thingies Thursday



I found this photo recently at an antique store to resell on eBay. It has two darling little girls in their winter coats and hats holding their new dolls

Back of photo says " Our " twins " Everybody thinks they are. With two of the dolls they got for Christmas. Norma calls them creepy dolls ... she means sleepy doll.

No other identification but what do we know?

One little girl's name is Norma

They are not really twins

They live some where cold enough for coats and hats

They are wearing shoes that look like they are from the early 1900's

The little girl on the left appears to be wearing glasses

The building on the right looks like it is either a large house or their are two houses real close together. Their is a fence at the front of one of them.

I found these at an antique store in the Houston Texas area but who knows where the photo is really taken

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 # 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.

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.

Orphan Photo #48 Real Photo Postcard



What a precious young child. Darling little girl on the porch of her home with a pouty face. there is no post mark so I do not know exact age but probably early 1900's. Great message written ... hard to read at times.

" Dear Folks Here is Jean's picture on the east side of porch by bedroom door. A man came along this Thursday asked to take it. They took every children under 6 years of age for motion picture film for one of their theaters. Its a baby contest prizes are given Dec 29th. I had to wake Jeanys and of course she was " pouty". I got your good letter today with Grace's included. Did my 1st big washing today since I'm here. every colored dress for Jean was in it. Say Papa, I never knew a dipper was before. It works fine. Have a lame shoulder. I have been embroidering evenings until I am gets home on some Xmas stuff. So I guess that is what causes it. Glad Grace had such a nice time at Cleveland. Its such a pretty day and I must get Jean out so will leave you. Am sending you a couple Linton? daily papers jut to show you what they are like nothing of ? ? that will interest you . Lots of love from us all your daughter Za? "



Most of this I can read and has a lot of information but do not have any idea who these folks are so a lost piece of history.
