A very nice CDV vignette of a mustached man -the first on this blog, but not the last -ba-dum-ching!

1909 Fraternity boy (?) Private collection.

This one did not scan well. The process made the dark parts look like silver, so I toyed with it some. Does anyone out there know the pin he’s wearing? I’m guessing a fraternity by other examples I’ve seen.
An adult wrote the date on the back in pencil, then below it a toddler (I strongly assume) wrote it again, also in pencil. :)

This man is so ‘pretty’ he looks like a doll. His wide eyes stare into the distance while the women are looking directly into the camera.

Chester Pratt. Private Collection
Chester Pratt had an attitude in this photograph, didn’t he? Was he mad at at the photographer? Did he have a bad day, or was he just showing pride? Who knows, but there’s everything to love about this photograph.

Anonymous from Lima N.Y. Private Collection

This CDV is probably from the early 1880s. Too bad we will never know the name of the sitter because he’s well worth remembering! Notice the diamond pattern of his tie and the triangle stud.
