Vore Walter (2 results)

Condition: Near fine. One photograph, measuring about 6" x 8", inside a mount measuring 10" x 12". Photograph is bright, clean, and well-preserved, near fine. Upon close inspection, there is a faint rubbing mark horizontally along the middle of the print, but it took us some time to notice. Mount is gently edgeworn, and partly detached from the backing, but still clean and functional. On the verso is the stamp of the photographer, noting an Althen Ave. address in Cleveland. Someone has pencilled in the date of "March 1st, 1924," as well. The image depicts a pretty bare work truck, which has either been partly scrapped for parts, or is just very bare-bones.
