Two Vintage Gentlemen $11.00
The guys are handsome! On the right is a wonderful vintage postcard with a photo of a man sitting and holding his hat. He measures roughly 3.5" x 5.5". I am unsure of the year this was taken, however I was told that he was from the late 30s or early 40s. The photo to the right was taken in the late 1920s -- I love the car he's standing in front of! He's dressed extremely well for standing in front of a hardware store.
