Seller's description:

This is a great early picture frame that is made of oak and it is in excellent condition. This frame still has all the original hardware and its signed Original L.M. Jamre Studios N.Y. The frame is a 11x7 and the back had a name tag or piece of paper that reads Henry Lee Banta and below that it says Hackensack. Its a great early piece and i believe the guy is in a shed or cleaning out an outhouse. He has something in his hand and a cigar in his mouth. I will be listing about 30 other early frames and photos over the next 24 hours so check them out. Most of them are dated 1871-1912 and they all came from the same estate so if they are not dated they are still probally the same time period.


There's no indication that the photo's setting is Hackensack.

The seller identifies the man pictured as being "Henry Lee Banta", based on a handwritten notation on the back that also says "Hackensack". If you look at the middle name, the "L" looks kind of like an "S".

I thought "Henry See Banta" would be an odd name, so I looked up both names..............and both came up with results! The most immediate commonality I could find for both were posts by a Carolyn Banta who both sought and gave out information about the Banta family lineage.

I found an email address for her - I hope it's current - to tell her about this picture and to see if she could provide better information.

If she does, I'll post it.

When I featured these CDVs recently along with some of the doctor's medical stuff, I lamented the fact that they weren't bigger. Now they are.

They appear to be the same identical pair from that auction, but the seller's ID is not that of the winner of the previous auction.

crescent shaped metal taps on to the soles of your shoes

Yeah - what we used to call cleats, which were put on to forestall uneven heel wear. You meant "heels" rather than "soles", right? Otherwise, you'd sound like a tap dancer.

The black leather square toes that you refer to were appropriate to wear with white sweat socks and black chinos with pegged pant legs and a belt on the back or two on the sides.

When I was in 7th grade at Holy Trinity, there was an 8th-grader who wore those leather lightning square-toe loafers (and an exaggerated version of the hair style you mentioned above). And you KNOW pegged pants were NOT permitted at HTS!

I had forgotten all about those little useless belts in the back.

I remember Thom McAn. It was in the little row of stores that included Esposito's Market, next to the Middle school.

 

I'm pretty sure Thom McAn was on the east side of Main St in the block south of Passaic St.

Seller's description:

This is a brass advertising bell.  One side says KARTCH'S BOYS SHOPS MERRY CHRISTMAS AND HAPPY NEW YEAR.  The other side says 270 MAIN ST. PATERSON, NJ  59 LEXINGTON AVE. PASSAIC, NJ  215 MAIN ST. HACKENSACK, NJ.  It measureas about 3 1/4" high, 1 3/4" wide & 1 1/4" deep.  Excellent condition, the clapper still works, just needs a good cleaning.



So you thought you were cool buying your clothes at David Burr, huh? Piffle! Kartch's was the place to go in the mid-late 60s (after it no longer was a "boy's shop").

One of the bell's bottom edges looks kind of ragged. And it really does need a major cleaning. I used to have one of these and it should have a nice bronze color, mainly because that's what it is - bronze, not brass.
