A few months ago I purchased a beautiful antique crushed velvet photo album at the flea market. These 15 photographs were inside the album. I only wanted the album so I'd love to be able to return these photos to the family that they belong to.
If I had to guess, I'd say the photos are from a date range of late 1800s to early 1900s. The smaller photos measure about 2 by 3.5 inches and the largest photo measures about 5.25 by 7.5 inches. Just about all of them are on heavy cardboard or pressboard backing.
Only 2 of the 15 have any writing on the back. One of those is the photo of the gentleman with the bushy mustache. What's confusing about this one is the back says "Mrs Record, 714 S. Steuben", but it's a picture of a man. I checked that address on google maps and it did come up as being in Chanute Kansas. That matches what's across the bottom on the front. Along the bottom of the front it lists the photographer's studio as Wertz & Son, South of Oriental Hotel, Chanute Kansas.
The second photo that has writing on the back is the one of the young man in the light colored cap. His picture is in the lower left corner of my main photo. The back of it says "Theo Record, Theodore Record Ch...... Kansas. For that city in Kansas, all I can make out of the spelling is the first two letters of "Ch" and since the other photo states Chanute Kansas I'm assuming that is what is also on this photo.
Shipping is from Nevada via USPS First Class Mail Parcel. Buyer to pay $7.29 delivery charges.
SPECIAL NOTE about SHIPPING CHARGES: Twice yearly and again in November for the holiday season (so 3 times each year) the postal service increases shipping charges. This is what they call their “Delivering for America” plan in which they hope to become profitable. It’s a 10 year plan that started in 2021, so we’ve got years to go with multiple price increases on shipping charges each year. I try to absorb some of the new charges and haven't increased my shipping charges in three years. This year, unfortunately, I have to increase the shipping. I'll try to keep it reasonable and even absorb some of the charges when possible.
I do combine shipping on multiple items purchased as long as all items can fit safely into a single box or envelope. However, my web host is not set up to calculate multiple item shipping costs. At checkout, you will be charged full shipping price on each item purchased and I will refund the appropriate amount of overpayment. If you are uncomfortable with that, you can send me an email with your zip code and stating which items you'll be purchasing and I'll calculate the correct combined shipping charges and send you a custom invoice.
INTERNATIONAL PURCHASES: Sorry, I do not ship to locations outside of the United States.
All items in my listings come from either estate or garage sales. I do not know if they came from homes where smoking or pets were present. All items are sold in the same condition as when I received them.
