RPPC. Private Collection.
Three tight buddies in gloves, overcoats and American Boston shoes (sometimes called Bulldog shoes) which made their debut in 1910. I have nothing more to say about this one. This sweet photo speaks for itself, and of course I love the fashion!

The back is blank but the photographer made sure to write his name. Smart man. And now, a hundred and fifty plus years later, he can be credited!
Photographer: H. Hancock. Scotland.
Private Collection.
These two are enjoying an outing on a hot day, posing in front of what looks like a Ford car. Keith is wearing white knickerbocker trousers with a matching short sleeved shirt he rolled up further, and Elsie a very pretty flapper style long sleeved dress.
These two German kids are too adorable for words! The older one stands with a comically high bowler on his head and a large bouquet of daisies, while his little toddler friend has his hands in pockets with a mini walking stick on the arm and a pork pie hat. They’re posing like pros in their grown-up suits, and I just about died!
They’re too much, are they not? I hope there are others out there of the series.
4″x6″ Memorial Card. Private Collection.
This poor fellow passed away much too young at the age of 27. This is the only memorial card I possess but I’d like to get more of them. It was much larger than I anticipated. Some memorial cards have parchment designs and are generally busy. This one’s sober with the black border. Close-up after the cut.
