Old Tintype Photo

I believe this photo is what they call a tintype.  It is very thin metal with the photo directly on the metal, not adhered to it.  It is in a lightweight folder in a creamy white color.  There is no writing or other markings.

Vermillion Bros' Photo Car

This photo could have been taken anywhere.  The luxury of a traveling photo studio is not a gift to those of us in genealogy want to find--unless someone wrote on the back.  Or perhaps someone has a matching or similar photo that is labeled?  If this looks like someone in your photo album please drop me a comment!

Baby Photo

Today I am bringing you another baby photo.  It might be just me, but it always seem more sad when a baby photo has no idenity.  This photo has no markings to indicate when or where it was taken.  This  little one is too precious to not view.

Another Unknown Gentleman

Another unkown man without a photographer or writing on the back to provide clues.  It was found in a back section of the album with slots for small photos so the proximity to other photos fails to offer clues as well.

I can't believe all these photos are one-of-a-kind.  If you recognize a photo please leave a comment even if you do not know this man's name.  Maybe the family names associated with your photo can, at the very least, help to narrow down the branch of the family he represents.
