Young man from Olyphant, Pennsylvania
What it is:
Real photo post card measuring slightly less than 3.5 x 5.5 inches, mounted into a cardboard folder. (I removed the folder for this scan.)
What I know about it:
It is undated, but the paper manufacturer’s logo on the back (Defender brand, with the diamond inside) dates it to 1920-1940. It is unidentified, but it is from the same photographer as this photo.
Comments:
This charming, dapper fellow looks like a good-hearted sort, don’t you think? The date range provided by the manufacturer’s logo is pretty broad. I’m guessing it’s from the earlier part of that range. And I have no idea if he has any connection to the girls in the other photo beyond the fact that they went to the same photographer.

Yes, definitely a good hearted sort. He has a kindly twinkle in his eye.
🙂
He totally reminds me of Dagwood (both the comic and movie versions). The combo of the hairstyle, suit and stickpin makes me want to date this in the 1920’s, but I couldn’t swear it in a court of law. I shall be looking out for stickpins worn that way from now on!
You’re right! All he needs is the cowlick and the giant sandwich. 🙂 I agree with your estimate of the 1920s. That’s what I would have guessed, too.
This is a charming young man. This photo really makes me smile. He looks like he would be a very loyal and kind friend. I love this one! Thanks for sharing.
Thanks, Jenna, I’m glad you like it. He definitely looks like a leading man from old Hollywood.
