You know ‘Freckles’ had to be his nickname, that or ‘Ginger’ ;). This is a cute trio of portraits from the 1920s of young Cecil Brown from Topeka, Kansas. Cecil is not the usual type you’ll find in my collection but I could not resist his portraits. There’s something so loveable about him! He makes me want to smile, and my followers know just how much I love people smiling and laughing on pictures! These portraits taken at different times give off the feeling Cecil was generally of nice temperament.
The first is Cecil in his cap and bowtie, with his signature on the side. On the second he’s laughing, and on the last one he looks a tad older but this could just be my impression. He still has a smile on his face. The town and state are written down on the back of the first one.
These are photobooth size studio portraits. I believe them to be late 20s, early 30s.

He does have a cheeky grin, one that probably got him out of more sticky situations, or maybe got him into several 😀 Nice set of pictures though. You must have spent all your “pocket money” for this month

lol…either he got bullied or was popular among his friends! Nothing in the middle though, I bet! I got this set for a few dollars, so it was a nice find for me.

Cecil is so cute! I bet he was a happy easy going boy and very popular, it’s just a feeling I have looking at him :-). Great set!

Thank you! It’s funny how with some people you can guess their personality right away!
