Reply to comment by CappaValley in Found this atop an hvac duct when I moved into my new home. I wish I knew more about it, although I assume it's circa mid 1940s by Dramatic-Scratch5410
Yeah. You did.
But for anyone to see that they have to go to your account because the post you made is auto-killed since it contains a link to external material and this sub, for reasons known only to the mods, does not allow links to external sites even if the site is totally benign and has excellent info directly related to the post thread.
I found a post here one time made by a guy who had located a collection of old photos taken in Arizona back in the last couple decades of the 19th century. They belonged to his family and fell to him by inheritance. He had no idea who any of the people were but I instantly recognized Tom Horn, Nelson Miles, several famous Apache scouts, etc and dug into it posting lots of links for him to know that his ancestor likely served as an Apache scout with the group who followed Geronimo into Mexico and later captured him. Anyway, none of my posts appeared since they had external links and the guy never found out who any of those people were since no other poster looked for or found any of them. Really frustrating after doing so much research. I was not bright enough to message the guy to tell him to look at my account for info. Big mistake by me.

Ahhhhh. Thank you very much. I was wondering why it got no traction. seemed pretty pertinent to me. I'll try a screenshot....
That's pretty cool that you found the Arizona info. I also had no idea about looking at the account...
