Thanks for posting this John. This is a truly amazing picture. At first glance, it looks like the man pictured could be someone from today, based on his haircut and general appearance, who has posed in front of a room with a collection of pre-war cards and antque furntiure. Of all the pictures I have seen posted on this board, this one is definitely, to me, the most amazing and most interesting. Thanks for sharing. |

I agree it's a fabulous piece. Only thing I find out of place to the era is the N28 Annie. |

I agree, nice picture. I think it is a dorm room at some now defunct Military college or high school. |

The 4th card down in the upper left corner of the back wall looks like a Ty Cobb red portrait as his collar looks dark (ie black), think it is a Ty Cobb back? |

Love both pictures but instead of cards on the wall, when I was in school we had pinups from Playboy magazines and day-glo rock posters. |

Sure the cards could very well be repros; but, I think they are 1909-1911 originals. The crude |

Wonder why people never smiled in photos back then??? Can anyone show someone in a picture showing teeth with a smile from 1915 or earlier? |

I haven't seen the PSA post but these look to be either printed or scanned off the original negative. Definitely period. There's a calendar in the first image, can't make out a date though. |

JC, people didn't smile back then from habit...in the nineteenth century it took longer to take the photo so the photographers wanted the subject to stay relaxed...it just carried over to the 20th century. |

I showed the two pictures to my Dad. We were thinking the first was taken at a hospital somewhere. Notice the cloth canopy hanging above the bed with the sides folded up on top. That would be a mosquito net or something like that. Sure wish the year was completely visible on that calendar. He thinks the years on that calendar are 1913 and 1914. The second photo has the guy in uniform. That uniform looks to be Army or Cavalry. That was about the time we were chasing around Pancho Villa. So maybe those pictures were taken somewhere around Texas or down in the south. I wish we knew whether both pictures are related to one another. And who knows which cards are behind him and unseen in the photo. There might be a Wagner! |

Great photo...I have never seen a contemporary photo of our vintage cards "in action". I wonder if any of these cards made their way down through the mists of time into some of our collections as back damaged gems. |

I looks like all the T206s are from the 350 and/or 460 series only in both photos; that plus the '05s seems to put this at early-mid 1911. I think that the calendar in photo 1 says 1911, but can't make out the month. |

The card in question is actually from the T card era. It is from the T106 State Girl Series. Gentlemen, meet the Alaska Girl. |

NYHighlanderFan asked "Does anyone have pictures of a turn-of-the-century tobacco shop or general store showing any of the old tobacco brands for sale?" I have a scan of a picture that I saved. I would be happy to email it to someone if they are able to post it on the board. I can't seem to figure out what I'm doing wrong and the picture is pretty big so it may need to be resized. |

I'm sure its illustrating how to utilize their insert silks (the Egyptienne Luxury advertisement John mentions) while the Turkey Red adv to its left advertises their leather inserts. |

In the tobacco shop picture shown Keith O'Leary mentioned that the Egyptieene Luxury advertisement appears to be illustrating how to utilize their insert silks. Does anyone recognize the silks? They appear to be baseball players. Or did these not include any baseball players? |

That is an amazing picture!! That's exactly what I wanted to see when I asked if anyone had an old photo from a smoke shop. I would guess this is pre-T206. My guess is early to mid 1900's...no later than 1907. Maybe I'm not even in the correct ballpark. What do you guys think? |

The picture is amazing but has to be 1910 or later (based on the Mecca advertisment) which was first produced in 1910. That's not to say, however, that some of the other posters are earlier as displays were probably not changed that often... |

Great point. Also, it can't be any earlier than 1907 because of the Prince Albert stuff being present. But how about those mustaches? That's what originally made me think early 1900's. |
