Mystery real photo postcard:
Man and two women


Today's real photo postcard features a man with his arms around two women who are sitting in front of him. There are no identifications and the only clue on the back of the postcard is this:

BALTO. ELECTRIC STUDIO,
425 E. BALTO. STREET

That's not a huge help, though I did find a couple of Google hits suggesting this might have been a location in Taneytown, Maryland.

This is an AZO postcard and the stamp box, with four upward-pointing triangles, tells us that it dates to between 1904 and 1918.

And that's it for clues. All three individuals in this postcard look fairly youthful, but it's a bit hard to be sure. My best guess might be that we're looking at a brother and his two sisters. But husband-wife-daughter and father-daughter-daughter are possibilities, too, I reckon. Here's a closer look at the gang...

  1. It's possible that's an abbreviation for Baltimore. There is a 425 East Baltimore street there. It's location of an "Adult Entertainment Club" now. http://tinyurl.com/hud3n9o
