It also appears not to say Longton, now that we've enlarged it and enhanced it. It might be the family's name, but it's still not quite legible. So it's possible that the family could have lived in any number of places that Drum photographed. <br />Lisawvcahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10817417242508172994noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4966724474880692543.post-34948267473779919022020-10-26T18:50:23.143-05:002020-10-26T18:50:23.143-05:00Will do!

I can add text that will include “Longton” so that it might turn up in general internet earches for that name. I will need a scan or photograph of entire piece including the edges. Include the writing on the reverse; perhaps I can enhance it to be more legible. Send the scans to the email address in the profile at the bottom of the page.

On the back of the matting is very faint pencil writing that I believe says "Longton" and I'm pretty sure says October 26, 1901. I would love to find the descendants of this family and give this to them. I also have another photo, not by Drum, with one of the same family members in it. I bought these at a vintage store years ago near Palm Springs.Lisawvcahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10817417242508172994noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4966724474880692543.post-16565211441689013772020-07-25T07:25:57.698-05:002020-07-25T07:25:57.698-05:00Thank you!

Oscar Drum worked from a...Thanks for your comment. Oscar Drum worked from a rail car at least for part of his career. Itinerant photographers appear to have had small, hand operated stamps or presses, in order to imprint cards with the name of the town where they were operating. Obviously they wouldn’t need to print their stock until needed. So, using up old imprinted stock is then a less likely situation. Also, in many of the examples on this page you see that they have omitted the location from the imprint, making them universal for any location.<br /><br />The Drum page is being re-worked with some additional information and examples. Check back in a couple days. I would be happy to include your example. If you can, send a good scan or clear photograph of your card to the email address found in the profile linked at the bottom of this page. Include the edges, no cropping, as the edges often tell something of the age of the card.

The photographer's mark is similar to the mark on the first photograph in the series shown above but without a comma and a bit more ornate. "Bartlesville, Ind. Ter." is inscribed below the mark. I not sure this indicates that the photograph was taken before statehood in 1907 since the photographer could have had old stock that was being used up. I assume this photograph was taken by Oscar or Lottie Drum. Does this additional information help fill out your bio on the Drum photographers? Is there any way to confirm the date and location of this photograph? I can send a photo of the mark if that would be of assistance.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4966724474880692543.post-52364999487676718222018-08-22T07:49:54.013-05:002018-08-22T07:49:54.013-05:00Thanks for your note and kind offer Sandra.
You...Thanks for your note and kind offer Sandra. <br /><br />Your old photographs sound interesting. I would love to see them. All three of the photographers you mention have been reviewed for these pages. I have only a sketchy bio on the Drum photographers and I could find nothing at all on H. Ford. William H “Doc” Martin however was quite a well-documented personality.<br /><br />The Cabinet Card Photographer blog is based mainly on the 500 or so cards in my own collection. I set out originally to present biographies and timelines to help people date their own cabinet cards from the information, name and location, on the card. Recently I have been adding contributions from helpful readers such as you.<br /><br />Send an email to phase65 at yahoo dot com we can decide how to handle your contributions. <br /><br />Thanks again!<br />Anyjazz <br />anyjazzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03319237414264543250noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4966724474880692543.post-5068163459638433582018-08-21T14:35:54.068-05:002018-08-21T14:35:54.068-05:00Hi,

As I was cleaning out my attic I ran across this album and it has several Drum photographs. They have the Drum, (with a comma) in the left of the photo and Rail Road, Photo Car on the right side bottom of the photo. Is there anyone that you know of that collects these old photos? I also have a few that are marked with the names of Martin, Ford and H. Ford. Do you know about what time period that these were taken?<br /><br />Thanks,<br /><br />SandraAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00848191972705392648noreply@blogger.com
