I found this photo in this frame at an antique mall for only $2, I normally don't buy/collect photos, but I couldn't pass it up. Something drew me to it. It's an 8 x 10, and I don't know much about it. If anyone can tell me anything that would be wonderful!!

Is it possible to put a date on this image? I really love it and I'd like to know just about how old it is.
I would venture to guess the 50's. I think it is probably a hand tinted photo. The photo studios would take black and white portraits and contract ladies to add color with special tints. My Mother did this back in the 50's for extra cash.
Awesome! Thanks, rocker-sd!
