I knew that was Charlie Balzarini and now I recognize Leroy Silva. To us old timers that wasn’t so long ago.

Comment on Sailors Landing from Warships, Rockport, Mass., circa 1907 by Robert Ambrogi

Of course! I have that very picture. Thanks for drawing it to my attention. That would suggest that the image above is from 1906, which is the date of the Detroit Publishing image.

I can tell you EXACTLY what the sign says–you’re close. “Naval Y.M.C.A. at the Town Hall Men of the Squadron Welcome” You can find a picture on memory.loc.gov by the Detroit Publishing Company–just query for Rockport and you’ll spot one with Motif #1 on the left of the image. That same sign is on the right of photo. Download the 150MB uncompressed image and it’s unmistakably clear. Thanks for putting these images up; I’m fascinated by them.

Comment on My Search to ID a Postcard Reaches a Surprise End by Paul in NJ

Paul in NJ — Wed, 20 Mar 2013 03:08:05 +0000

I, too, was attempting to learn more about the Auburn Post Card Mfg. Co. A Google search found an image from a now-discontinued eBay auction; all that is left is a thumbnail of the back of a postcard. It reads “This card is a sample of our Imitation Photo Local View” and notes also that the card is “a sample of our Imitation Photo General Scene’ line. So, yes, it appears you did interpret it correctly.

Comment on Real Photo Postcard of Whale’s Jaw, Dogtown, circa 1910 by Paul Morrison & RD

Paul Morrison & RD — Wed, 13 Mar 2013 15:20:13 +0000

With some GPS checking it looks like Whale’s Jaw is easily within Gloucester’s chunk of Dogtown. The Rockport line is about 800 feet to the east. Most of the fastet ways to get there are from the Rockport side but Gloucester rightfully can claim it.
