Marlaina: The description you give of your photo-post card sounds very similar to several that I have posted on my website. Most of them were never used as postcards except for one. That one was postmarked 1913 so that's the only date I have to work with trying to identify the person pictured on that card. Best of luck with your search, Susie _____________________________________________________ S u s a n H a s t i n g s **** Surnames: H A S T I N G S ~ W E L L S praeda@aol.com The "other" OZ, USA > X-Message: #7 > Date: Sun, 11 Aug 2002 19:59:32 -0700 (PDT) > From: Marlaina Barr <marlabarr3@yahoo.com> > To: VINTAGE-PHOTOS-L@rootsweb.com > Subject: [VINTAGE-PHOTOS] Looking for Information from a Post Card Photo > > Hello Listers, > > I am hoping to find a time period when a Photo Post > Card might have been made.
