Condition is excellent with hardly any wear. The color of the heart and type are more red than they look in the photo. Nice clean green borders are mid-green and they are perfectly even. The photo distorts...

“Ten Little Fingers And Ten Little Toes” (Down in Tenn)
The hits just keep on coming! Another funny title and great cover design, this one from 1921, just after WWI. Art Deco hadn’t taken over yet, so this has just a hint of deco. Fantastic image of stork carrying the baby. The steam engine is explained in the lyrics as the baby’s father is rushing home from out of town. Condition is excellent with just a tiny bit of wear and owner name...

TINTYPE 1/6th PLATE – LITTLE BOY WITH BIRD. Delightful image of a really cute little boy with a bird at his feet. We suspect it is a stuffed bird. The boy has a wonderful expression. Great little suit and shoes. Nice subtle tinting of the boy’s cheeks. Size 2.5" x 4" in its original paper holder. This tintype is quite clear. Nice contrast. Condition is very good with no bends and just very minimal scratches.
 

SOUTH DAKOTA CABINET PHOTO OF DRUMMER IN UNIFORM
An interesting image of a drummer in uniform posing casually in the studio with his drum at his feet and the sticks in his hand. He is even wearing the drum strap. No hat visibile. Probably about 1900. Photographer: Vogt’s Studio, Lesterville & Menno, S.D. Size 3.5" x 5.25". Condition is very good. Image is slightly faded and there are a few modestly discolored areas on the...
 

Tintype of Young Boy and Drum C.1860-70. Superb 1/6 plate of a young boy and his snare drum. Pristine condition in a paper frame which must have been protected in an album. It is not glued into the frame. Imprint on back of paper appears to say "Frede Photo Gallery." Excellent contrast and particularly sharp.
 

CABINET PHOTO of HARP GUITAR MUSICIAN C.1890 This fine cabinet photo image gives an excellent look at the harp guitar as well as its proud owner. Photographer: Jurgens, St. Paul, Minn.

I am not a guitar expert. Some quick search engine research turned up several harp guitars that looked similar, so I am assuming this is one, too.

Size 4 1/4 x 6 1/2. Condition of both the image and card near mint. This was obviously...

Vintage Poster MESSETT'S MUSICAL ENTERTAINERS C.1920
Classic original American vaudeville advertising poster with the star and chorus line. Artist: anonymous. Size 28" x 42". Bit of nouveau feel. Printed by D.L. Co, Newport, KY. #5138. This photo doesn't do it justice because of the glare. The poster has great color.

We own one of these that is framed and it looks terrific. This is not mounted on linen, but that...
 

CABINET PHOTO – TOWN BAND – GREAT FACES What a rich cast of characters in this town band in Victorian England. C.1900. Love their instruments proudly stacked like rifles in front. Most of the men are wearing the same caps. Classic mustaches. Cigars. Walking sticks. They are in a field outside their town which can be seen in the background. Size: 5 x 7. Image condition is excellent. Card mount is also very good with just modest...
 

CABINET PHOTO – OLD DRUMMER BOY Intriguing shot of an older man playing a snare drum next to a lake in Vermont. Probably about 1890 or so, so he could possibly have been a drummer boy in the Civil War, which was about 35 years previous to the photo. The image is nice and sharp. Size 4.25" x 6.5". Photographer: Kingsley, Bristol, Vermont. Both the image and card mount are in excellent condition. There are some tiny...

Size 4.25" x 6.5". Image is nice and clear with only very slight yellowing. Card has almost no wear. Change of pace military piece.
