I obtained these 10 photos recently at an estate sale. They were all in an envelope together. They appear to be photos of construction projects. None say what the particular circumstances are. All but one have a photo shop name and address on the back. Only one, (the postcard in the lower right corner of my photo) has a date and that is 1923. Looking at the cars in the center of my photo, I'd say that time frame could suit all the photos.
Locations mentioned:
In my main photo, top row, the photo on the left has no location info. The other 3 photos in the top row are all stamped on the back "Nelson's Photo Shop, Canton, So. Dak.
Middle row:
These 3 photos are also stamped "Nelson's Photo Shop, Canton, So. Dak."
Bottom row:
The photo on the left and the photo in the center are stamped on the back "Canedy's Camera Shop, Sioux Falls, S.D.". The photo on the right is actually a real picture postcard.
The postcard:
The front states it is a photo of "Salem S.D. From An Aeroplane." The back has a cancelled one cent stamp and a postmark dated Sep 27, 1923, 9am Salem S. Dak. The postcard was addressed to H. W. Guernsey, Sou Falls S.D., 620 Webber Ave. I'm not sure about the name in the message area, it could be Bro Herm, but the message says "Yes we will be home Sunday and will look for you. We are all well." It is signed 'Jim'.

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. Previously, shipping charges were based on weight and zip code. Now, the postal service has divided the United States in to 8 zones and all packages are charged by weight, size, and destination zone. This year's increases have added an additional 1.36 cents to up to $4.03 on packages. 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 changes when possible.
INTERNATIONAL PURCHASES: Sorry, I do not ship to locations outside of the United States.
To avoid excess shipping charges, please contact seller for combined shipping charges if multiple purchases are desired.
All items in my listings come from estate sales, garage sales, or auctions. 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.
