Date please by clothing or cars Toronto
« on: Thursday 17 October 13 16:14 BST (UK) »
My great aunt worked in a Boys Home in Toronto and I would like to have a rough idea of year. It may have been at the former Bernardo Home on Jarvis. She has some pics of the boys, none are identified.

The photos are snaps from her camera, 11.5 x7 cm. Can you estimate from the ladies' clothing or the cars? Thanks for looking  :)

You are a jewel China, the date fits perfectly. I didn't know if it was 20's or 30's.
Thank you for your speedy reply!

I think the third pic has a sign advertising the film "Flaming Youth", which was released in 1923.
