^^^ it's amazing, to my eyes those photos could be from 2017 instead of 1913.She is even wearing a hoodie LOL!

Very nice, thank you!

Glad you like them Hadley!

On the search engine, go to google
"autochrome photography",
You will find many sites with more
images and history regarding this
process of early photography.

I am interested in the top image. That hat has similar lines to my 1913 Olcott custom from NW Hats (new avitar). This guy looks to be from about the same era.

I am a novice when it comes to hats but I agree it does look similar to this hat which
you posted earlier in the year in another thread.

Governor Ben W. Olcott

Here's an early period ad:

Top row left hat was listed as #1 ELECTRO 2/6.
But that was probably for ordering a specific style since they
all have the same nomenclature with different numbers.

Besides the wood floor & glass display, I love all the hats from this time period!

Although I know I would have burn marks on my neck wearing that stiff collar!

I recall using some kind of "wax", had a pleasant aroma.
But that was a long long time ago. I don't remember the name.

That's not a cannoli, it's a compact disc. Time traveler?

And it's not a compact disc but a retractable measuring tape!


Don't get discouraged...keep plugging away!

I know, but I couldn't think of anything stupid to post about a measuring tape.
