But yes, I remember Fox photo shops in Texas, but not really in St. Louis, where these were taken. I think the last time I used one was in Houston, but I know we used them to develop and print film in San Antonio also. The border is actually part of the print. I think I've seen a Fox shop somewhere in Colorado too...do hope they're still in business.<br />Barbara Rogershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08351113054045427775noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6834515962367699133.post-69497740056152191562013-01-28T14:17:30.807-05:002013-01-28T14:17:30.807-05:00Thanks for pointing that out Postcardy.

I'm intersted in the size of both mount and photo, as it may be possible to determine the size of the negative from that, and thus the type of camera used to take the photographs.Brett Paynehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07706734864792449845noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6834515962367699133.post-686824089686563892013-01-27T17:07:41.037-05:002013-01-27T17:07:41.037-05:00These are actual photos taken in 1955.
