    Wonderful celluloid button sepia photo of a dapper young gentleman with handsome blue tie.

    Photo is mounted on tin and inserted in an original stamped tin frame. The photo mount has two slots in the back for the original easel, the etched silver frame has a loop for wall hanging. The back has a stamp / mark for Columbia Photographic Co. Chicago. This piece is in wonderful condition showing no cracks and natural patina and very minor spot directly across from his right ear. The button does fit, though not perfectly seated.

    In pencil the name Harry Shores is written on the back. It is my understanding this person lived in Central Florida.
