Thought while we are posting old pics, I'd share this original carte-de visite/cabinet card I picked up recently at a local antique shop.
Kinda cool.

Very Cool Irish Dave!!! I keep looking in antique stores but haven't found any cards yet.

Thanks, Steve,

CDVs around here are fairly commonplace in general, but, of course, extremely rare to find one of someone famous or even of anonymous folks sporting any sort of Western attire or accoutrements. I see virtually none of that description. And on the extremely rare occasion that I do, they're generally too pricey.

Just got lucky this time, I guess.

Great find, Dave. It's nice when something special turns up at the right price.

Dave, Terry says that's a picture of him and he ain't no antique.

Chance:
Yep, It's even more rewarding when it ends up with those of us who appreciate its intrinsic value and are not just looking to snap it up and then sell it for a quick buck.

Del:
Please reassure Terry that no offense was intended ....

I already pointed out that if he were a car he could have antique plates as well as me.
