Photobooth picture of man in white hat. Private Collection.
A cute Photobooth snapshot of a bright eyed guy (with that twinkle again lol) leaning forward and smiling under his heavily tilted white hat. I think this picture was taken in the 40s or 50s just because of his open shirt.
Detail of student by Albert Eisele. Cabinet photo/CDV. Private Collection.
I am thrilled to add this card to my collection. It feels like a CDV but the dimensions are narrower and longer (2″ x 5″), and best of all, it came with the original sleeve and envelope, something which is quite rare to find. And it doesn’t hurt that this is a looker!
Photographer: Albert Eisele. NEUWIED a. Rh. Germany.

A smiling Canadian worker. RPPC. Private Collection.
Hm…give me a hammer. I need to make some holes in the wall for this guy to come by. Then I can lounge with a piña colada and watch him work. Ha ha! Seriously, what a cutie smiling in his white work overalls with the turtle neck, cap and rubber boots. A painter perhaps, or a plaster worker?
RPPC: AZO 1904-1918. The RPPC is ‘Made in Canada’ and the dealer is from Nova Scotia. I assume this gent was from the area.
1908 C.J Catlow at Elk lake, Oregon. RPPC. Private Collection.
This cute RPPC was posted on Christmas Eve 1908 and took two days to get to its destination (stamped twice). This is C.J. Catlow reading a three page letter while lounging on studio grass. He sent a Merry Christmas note to another family member, Chester Leroy Catlow from Ephrata, Washington.
C.J. was at Elk Lake in Oregon (as hand written on the picture I edited out), and this was most likely taken at a studio nearby. The postcard was mailed from Salem.
Looking at the shells on his belt, he may have been on a hunting trip.
