    Purchased at antique store. Probably not worth much but you never know! Anyone recognize this couple or either one of them? Could they be famous? Thanks in advance.

      Do you think that is his daughter--or his wife??These are the kind of quirky folks that are dear to my collector's heart! Dig those pants--He looks pretty funky--Good for him, broke right out of the mold!!Maybe circus performers?
      Not worth much, you say. ahhhh, that depends!!
      Here are my eye teeth for them!

      Yeah tough to say weather it's his wife or daughter. I dig the pants too haha! I'm good on eye teeth but thanks anyway!

      Just an everyday guy from the late 19th century.

      You are correct-- not much in the way of value. The image condition is very rough as well.

      I think he is a better subject than usual .


      Hi

      S
      Pants are not really what I can seeing in my collection







      .In my humble opinion
      He looks like a flimflam man
      Like his type was captured in the movie The Sting! Hey. I can spot one. It's a gift.....
      Go figure.
