This amazing vintage post card is from the collection of Jim Linderman.

Looks to be about 1910 -1915, judging by the man's suit.

Here's a link to Jim's book of vintage music pictures ---> CLICK

Great picture! I see what appears to be two tuning pegs on the gentlemans guitar? Could it be a tenor archtop guitar with a raised nut?

I think it's a 6-string with a raised nut:

There's a slight "You know too much to live, Van Helsing!" vibe in there too.

Woo, that kid's pretty demonic. There are six tuning pegs on the guitar, but one button fell off. Or the kid stole it. If you go to page "2-3" it's the same kid all grown up - but his wife's a zombie.

The father's "widow's peak" is kinda creepy. He probably plays tritones (the devil's interval) on his guitar!

Nice Gibson L-4! That's got to be around 1916.
