He’s too young to have grandparents in that type dress. Great grandparents maybe. Doesn’t change the point being made here though.
The wide lapels, hair styles and facial hair tell me the gentlemen in the given photos are of the mid to late 1880’s period, maybe early to mid 1890’s. I see the examples you linked to the 1918 era, not a match. Close, but the subtle differences are there enough to tell. Coming out of WWII at around 33-37ish, your grandfather must’ve had your parent late in life as well as your parent having had you late in life? Not typical by any means, but not an impossibility I’ll agree.
Much further back in time
Billy the Kid photo was shot in 1877 with a wet plate camera. They were on the way out at that time. The photos posted are not tintypes, ambrotypes, or daguerreotypes. They were shot on film and developed onto paper as we know it today. All things considered, I’m gonna say mid to late 1880’s.
Why so? I'm 30 and my grandpa that i never met fought in both WWI and WWII. We have poctures of him like that.
Are you a 'tard? That style is civil war Era.
