Hi Everyone,

Just picked this up from a friend of mine and had to share .

I have always wanted one of these but never expected one like this :w00t:

The photo is on silk and the embroidery is then added to the bottom. It still has the paper attached to the back with no holes.

I have only seen these with the small area for a portrait .

Opinions welcomed

Regards Dan

Very cool, love those photos. The tails on the hat ribbon and the lanyard make this pre 1913. I'd guess earlier.

Congrats. Really well done, and the colors are amazingly vivid after 100 years.
