This is a Real Photo Postcard from the antique shop in Solway Minnesota.

These are Josies girls…

Dear Ema:-I am sending you a picture of the girls, how do you like it. We are all well + hope you are the same.  Give my love to your Mother With love I am as ever Josie

This is a Cyko Postcard from 1904 to 1920. Josies girls are beautiful!  It is too bad that the photographer didn’t get his horsehair settee/chair re-stuffed.

This is a photo from the Antique Shop in Detroit Lakes Minnesota.

The photographer was That Man Gale York Aurora. I found him in 1927 in York and Aurora Nebraska. I would have picked this photo to be a little later than that ..late 1930’s for sure. ( What do I know..perhaps Iggy will find a birth date.)

Update: Neal left a message..he was born in 1951 so this photo was more than likely taken in 1952. 


Update: Neal already has this photo, so I will not be mailing it out.

We will look at some children in chairs the rest of the week.  In the early 1900’s they put children in chairs to photograph them.  Cameras were bulky and not easy to set up so they set them up so that the person in the chair would be photographed.

I am not sure where I got this photo. I know I purchased it because of the shoes.  This is a little boy, I say that because his hair is parted on the side. This little boy looks to be about 2 or 3 years old.

Erickson was a photographer in Fargo North Dakota from 1903 to 1916.

I purchased this photo at the Antique Shop in Park Rapids.

This photo must have been taken around the 4th of July, the baby looks happy and is waving a flag.  I could not find any information about Park Studio in Park Rapids Minn.  I think that this photo may have been taken sometime around 1910. It has one word written on the folder “Ma".

 

I hope you all have a wonderful 4th of July! :)

I was searching through my photos one day..and I filed this under Patriotic Photos.

Perhaps this is a school teacher on the first or the last day of school.  One of the teachers duties was to see to it that the flag was put up in the morning before school and taken down at the end of the day.  This photo was most likely taken sometime around 1910.

A big fish!  A muskie!  I purchased this photo at the Antique Shop with the Ice Cream in Motley Minnesota. I looked at the sign in back of the fisherman..and I could not figure out what it says. It could be the name of a resort??

Ray or Roy Brinkley or Burkley.. the snapshot is stamped Something? Photo 1948.  I wrote Muskie on the back of the photo to identify the fish.

How about a few summertime photos!

I purchased this photo at the Motley Antique Shop the one with the ice cream store.

To Duane from Ralph.

Ralph must have had a pretty good day fishing, he has a whole stringer of Sunfish.  It takes a bit of balance to stand up in a rowboat.   I hope Duane was impressed!
