      They look to be early 20th century snapshots or real photo postcards-- the size and back would help to determine.

      Subject matter is paramount in images and these shown are desirable.

      A great rescue from the trash!

      Watch yourself with the photos-- take it from me, it is easy to get obsessive and end up with THOUSANDS of them!

      thanks manikin. i think that's GREAT advice scottvez. i already have a lot of really cool ones from my family/ancestors. i don't know why i'm collecting more of people i have no connection to.
