1890s duo. Tintype. Private Collection.
Here’s that little bowtie/tie combo I first found here.
In fact this tintype reminds me a lot of the other. They’d get along quite fine with the other pair! Both gents here have their hair parted in the middle too, they’re not wearing waistcoats either and they wear the same laced up shoes and look similar overall…
Here on the other hand, these two are not shy stacking legs!
These sepia (but I’ll say peach) tinted real photo postcards are gorgeous, the color is soothing to the eye. The first of two smoking lovers breathes the 20s -pun. I look at it and hear Scott Joplin’s “Easy Winners”.
The second features the same man and the same woman but without her brunette wig (or she put on a blonde one, whichever). She’s wearing a different dress too, but the ring on her left hand is the same. The male model is wearing a different suit too.

RPPC. Private Collection.
A trio from my hometown! Louis is wearing a King Cake baby on the lapel of his coat and holding a music sheet, Emilie is cross-dressed in boy attire with her jaunty cap on. Jo is the cornetist…What an interesting trio, all IDed on the back of this RPPC.
Emilie has this soulful look in her eyes, and each one of them is wearing a different hat. Another photo which makes me smile. Can you hear the music?
RPPC: AZO 4 up triangles. Photo taken between 1907-1914.
1935 snapshot. Private Collection.
This one packs much style for a tiny photo that is only 1″ 1/2 x 2″.
This dashing gentleman is standing in the sun with his hands in the back, a white fedora hat with the black band tilted on his own tilted head. Match this with a randomly dotted tie and dark suit with the white pocket handkerchief.
On the back is a first name: Julia. His sweetheart? It looks like the man’s on a boat by a dock.
1910s Postcard
A cute postcard of a gent who still manages to look dapper while falling on his back! It would have been funny to add a hat rolling away.
