One of the better Photomatic Mutoscopes I’ve found over the years, usually the lighting or photo development is bad, (or it’s a man), so for a pre-war, 30’s vending booth machine process that actually somehow mechanically frames it on the spot for you too, this one’s a real gem. If anyone recognizes this as their grandma, please drop me a line...
More interesting info about it all HERE!
That's a look that says "I'm going to put a curse on you, but you are going to like it!"
ReplyDeleteIt's interesting they have pre-printed space to enter identification information on the back instead of, say, greeting card information. Hard to believe these would have been used more for head shots or business cards than just gifts for a sweetheart.
ReplyDeleteMaybe I'm wrong, but the girl in the picture, she looks a little like Betty Page.

ReplyDeleteYou won't hear any complaints from me!

I'm sure they were, most of the ones I've seen (and another one that I have) are actually of a smiling couple taking the photo together.

Well the hair maybe a little bit, I guess.
I've been turning this place upside down trying to find the other Mutoscope Photomatics I have, and when they surface I'll post 'em here if anyone is interested.
