1908 B Of RCLong Photograph,Vam Leo Studio,Toledo Ohio

Storage find.Nice old photograph of a group of people.There's some writing on the back that say," I wrote to the Chamber Of Commerence and no answer",dated 1983.Trying to find out who is Van Leo studio.I googled and didn't find his Vam Leo in Ohio.Any thoughts on maybe who the people are or some information on Van Leo

 

Try Van Loo.

 

And for B of R C try Brotherhood of Railroad (or Railway) Conductors.

 

There's information about the Van Loo Studio in Toledo on the photo in this link.

Actually, there's an even better "track" Brotherhood of Railway Carmen.

This was written before I saw Roaring 20s post about the Railway Clerks and their convention in Toledo.. Way to go !

 

Good find! That's a very informative site. I've found out a lot there in the past.

 

By the way, @antiquelover69 -- That type of photo is called a "yard-long" photo, even if it doesn't actually measure 36 inches wide. If you're selling it you might want to include that in your listing.

 

Thanks! will do!
