CABINET PHOTO – POLICEMAN–GLOUCESTER MASS

Fascinating scene of the wedding party posing in front of what looks to be a factory building where many of them likely worked. This is a wonderful glimpse of their world.

Miniature Cabinet Photos - Little Girl Front & Back.
What a delightful find. This is a matched pair of little mounted photographs. Each measures 1 5/8" x 3 1/8". These are smaller than CDVs. The little blond girl in her denim overalls is adorable.
We would estimate these as late 1800's to early 1900's. They may be novelty photos made at a fair. Condition is near mint.

ANTIQUE BRASS FRAME & PHOTOGRAPH - MID-1800'S.
This is a gem of a frame with what looks like its original accompanying photograph still inside. It is sturdy brass with beautiful detailing all around. The detailed area on the front and on the clasp is reddish brass with an almost copper appearance, but I'm pretty sure it is brass.
The heavy clasp on top is firmly attached and moves well. The back is solid brass and once had a...

CABINET PHOTO – BOYS PLAYING STREET HOCKEY C.1910.
Here’s a captivating image of a group of kids in their street hockey "uniforms," posing in a face off. The leg and knee pads worn by the boy on the right are amazing. They could be borrowed from his baseball gear, but not sure. This must have been a very exciting event for these boys.

CABINET PHOTO – CARNATION QUEEN OF 1898
Carmen Miranda did fruit…. this gal did flowers. Wish we’d been there. Who said the Victorians were dull and boring? Nice oversize cabinet measures 6 x 8. No photographer ID. Condition is very good. Image has a stain on the left side, but it’s really not bad. Card mount has just modest edge wear and soiling. Fun piece.
