I haven't any idea, Tal, but sincere thanks for the link to that site. A treasure for a history and nostalgia buff!

I heartily recommend Shorpy Historic Picture Archive | Old Photos & Fine Art Prints for any and all who are interested in old photos - most not really posed. There are photos from the 1840's to the 1970's, with great sub-categories of many cities and other topics. Very similar to the photographic content of your site.

Thanks again. Nice gesture.

It's a old cord board. For a answering service or a small town local operator. In the 60's I worked on them. If I remember It's a 557 cord board The wood on the cabinet was beautiful

Thanks for that information.

These Florida Mystery Photographs are quite fun. Does anyone know if other state photo archives have these going on as well???
