Title: Age & Date estimate please Paddy Duggan
Post by: Pdorgan on Monday 10 September 18 22:39 BST (UK)

Hi,
Can anyone help me with an estimate age of this man and a date for the photo?
To me this guy looks like he is his 30's, but hoping the clothing can help someone date the photo if at all possible..
Is it possibly 1920's?
I have a copy of the reverse, a couple of numbers, but I dont think they would help...

Thanks in advance

My first impression was that it was a 1940s image but Jim is better at dating men than me so this will bring it back up the board.

Thanks, do you think the man is in his 30's?

I think that would be a good estimate.

1920's-30's looks about right. Collar pins/bars were popular after the war but when collar stiffeners arrived in the late 20's they started to lose favour with the dapper chap.
