A HBC reader has forwarded images of two German postcards. There are two cards although not probably not the same boy. We think that they are brothers. The cards are unfortunately undated and unidentified. Thise have no idea who the boys are. The photographers information is embossed on the cards but is difficult to read. The boys wear very tradotional sailor suits. A badge is worn on the sleeve, but I am not sure what it means. We believe that the portraits were taken in the early 1920s after World War I. The hightop shoes that the boys are wearing suggest that the portrait was not taken later than the 1930s.
