This card looks much older but I quess it is more worn. It still dates it during WWI
Thank you Hedgewalker :-)
Scandinavain boy we can learn how to date all our old pictures amazing I never knew the stamps made a age to them. The boy photo I posted is much higher quality photo but yet nearly same date . I am now wondering if this was dad and son ? They go back a few generations in our family so hard to keep track of family history . I was lucky to get many many photo's from My Grand-mother yrs ago of family .
I redid this photo somewhat trying to sharpen it and if you send me an email I can send it to you.

His uniform dates it from about 1910- 1920.
The wrist watch is nice-- they became popular later in the war. Rarely seen in US military until late WW1. For this reason, I would say this is 1918- 1920.
