Photo Number 1107

This week we will look at some photographs of men. This Cabinet Card is from the antique shop in Grand Forks, North Dakota.

Cabinet Card Man from jen Grand Forks Antique mall

The photographer is S. A. Eggan 251-3 Cedar Ave. Minneapolis.  I find an Eggan Studio at that address from 1890 through the 1920’s.  I think this photo is from the 1890’s.

The young man is wearing a frockcoat and the tie looks to me like one of those hand tied bow ties. He strikes a very dashing pose.

Thanks for stopping by.  Do come again::)

1951 somewhere DL Antiques

The year was marked on the back.  1951.

My Mother had fancy rubbers/overshoes like the ones these ladies are wearing..with a strip of fur at the top.  You wore your shoes inside the rubbers.  I had a pair..not fancy..just buckle overshoes..and they were hard to put on especially if your shoes were wet.  They kept your feet dry..but not warm.
