Charles Edward Day, Rescued Baby Photo.
I rescue old photos from antique shops and auctions.I have a photo that has the baby, age 1 year, identified as Charles Edward Day. He appears to be sitting in a curved back high chair, and in a long white gown.
This photo was cut off of a picture postcard and has a one cent stamp on the back of it. I don't see a city on the post mark.The person to whom it was addressed to, was Mrs. C. Streckfuss, 8213 Alabama Ave, in St. Louis (probably Missouri-as all is left is Mi-or slightly possible, St. Louis, Michigan.I'll bet on the Missouri).Is that name familiar to anyone?
Somebody tried to matte the photo, very crudely, but the photo is clear and his features are distinct.
If he's yours or you think he is, contact me, and I'll scan it and send you a file to look at.If you want him, all I ask is what was paid out for it, postage and the cost of a sturdy mailer, so there is no damage to the photo.
