Description

The listing, Vintage, Possibly Antique Photos has ended.

These are 2 photos that came with a junk drawer lot I won on eBay. In the description, they were listed as antique. However since I'm unsure of the age, they are listed under collectibles here on Listia. The one with the family actually has Howard Family written on it in ink if you can see it, as well as the name of the studio. They are both sized 4 &1/2 by 6 &1/2" tall. They do look authentic, but I'm also not a professional. If you are in to old prints, they would make an interesting addition. All Listia rules apply. I usually ship within 1 business day to US Listia verified addresses only with tracking. Thank you for looking! If you comment you have fanned me, I will fan you back. Good luck to all!

Questions & Comments

If you can send a scan of the photos to Ancestry.com with what you know of them-- names on back, photo studio, etc. there is a good chance they are probably someones ancestor and would love the scan for their history. I am sure some distant relative will be appreciate it.

That sounds like a great idea but I don't have a scanner. But I can send a note to whoever wins to do that because it would be a thoughtful gesture. Thank you for even letting me know it could be done.

Awesome antique photos- wonderful condition and quality!

Thank you! They are in great shape considering they were put in a junk drawer auction on eBay. I hope they go to a good home that appreciates them. If you bid, best of luck!

Those photos remind me of ones my dad has in his liberary.

They are impressive. I have a few like this that are actually my family and copies of the hard originals, which is what the material of these are like. Like some very hard cardboard.

Awesome cabinet cards... I have my own collection of these & would not take anything for them... I wonder all the time about what kind of lives they lived. If I had the extra credits right now, I would be bidding! :)

Thank you. If it weren't for the fact they frighten my daughter, I'd likely keep them & do the scan on to Ancestry.com as Mike3303 suggested below. It'd be great if they could go to the actual family members.

Nice vintage photos

Thank you :) They scare my daughter but my hopes are they find a good home where they'll be appreciated. Good luck if you bid!

Would you consider shipping to Canada and if so how much.

Apr 13th, 2014 at 10:04:04 AM PDT by

What are you willing to spend? I have to go by the post office tomorrow to mail a win and I will ask my friend there what the cost would be and if it's around what you are looking to spend, then I will add shipping to Canada at the price he gives if it goes along with what you want to pay.

nice auction.. Watching and Fanned.. Please fan me back

Apr 13th, 2014 at 1:43:24 PM PDT by

Thank you much & you're fanned back.

Probably only the price of an envelope to send these so long as they aren't too big.
My guess would be a few bucks.
I can inbox you where I am at if you would like!

Apr 13th, 2014 at 6:07:53 PM PDT by

They are a little too wide for a regular envelope width wise. But while I'm at the P.O. I'll also see if they have a special size I can send them in that's cost effective. I'm going to go ahead and put free shipping to Canada on this for you, because you are the only one that's asked since I changed to US only shipping since they raised the postal rates here, and I already have to put out a chunk on Thursday for a few other auctions lol so no worries :D

Apr 13th, 2014 at 11:33:41 PM PDT by

Awe! You're too sweet! Thank you! Yeah they raised the rates here too and now are threatening to take away door to door service in favor of community mail trough.
Thanks again! =^..^=

No Problem :) Good luck!

wow these are cool. I wonder who they are of. watching. already a fan.

One days have Johnson family written on it. The one that'd the family with child. I thought they were cabinet photos but wasn't sure until a gentleman above commented they were. I'm also a fan of yours :)

Apr 16th, 2014 at 2:33:12 AM PDT by

To whoever wins, if your shipping info is received the night of the win, it will go out Friday! Good luck all :)
