Moody Young Athlete with Ribbon on Chest, Old Snapshot Photo 1908 With little heads of Washington

With little heads of Washington and Lincoln and a few others I'm sure I should know but don't

but I think the manner in which the end of the wood is secured (known as Svepaskis in Swedish) is indicative of that

and the handling of the stripes on this shirt really does it for me

and ultimately settled at Amana

A sweet vintage papier mache horse

Moody Young Athlete with Ribbon on Chest, Old Snapshot Photo 1908 With little heads of WashingtonI just love this young man, looking awkward and a bit unhappy, but I think that frown veiling the fact that he actually felt quite proud of the ribbon pinned to his chest! With those muscular legs, I take him for a runner and this photo makes me think of the loneliness of a long distance one! Feels like he wants company. 3 1 2" x 2 1 2" and in very good condition, c. 1940s or so, I believe.
