from dry plate negative c1908<\/p><\/div>\n

Toronto<\/strong>. As you browse the old photos at our fairs, do you ever wonder what happened to the people you see? The image at left is from a dry plate I bought some years ago at one of our fairs from Ms Cook. Another plate in the package had a date of 1908 so I estimate this little girl was photographed around the same year.<\/p>\n

I often wondered what ever became of the child as she grew up, perhaps married, had children of her own, and passed on. Was she educated? Wealthy? Impoverished? Drove a car? Listened to a radio? I wonder.<\/p>\n

Well, it’s rather late for that dry plate, but our fair on the 26th may well have other old photos and plates that spark your interest. They can be yours – just open your wallet and let those moths go free ….<\/p>\n

We have held the fairs for nearly half a century (since 1975) to the delight of collectors everywhere. You can get details on the current fair being held Sunday, May 26th, 2024 from the poster shown here<\/a>. Come on out and see old friends, while you add collectibles and user gear to your treasures. Remember – Free parking, modest attendance fee, and great food.<\/p>\n

NB: The post title is a riff on the title of that creepy 1962 movie. “What Ever Happened to Baby Jane?<\/a>“. I dreamt up the post after accidentally discovering where on earth I saved the tiff of the glass plate in my computer.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
