[QUOTE="Snowman Cometh, post: 10623153, member: 83302"]I was thinking the 1910s or 20s. 3.5" x 5.5". Pretty much the standard postcard size. That's why I was taken back flipping it over. It's literally just cardboard. What's making his eyes look a little off in your photo is, the eye that looks shut isn't really shut. I took out a magnifying glass and looked closely at mine. I can faintly see his eyeball. Your version it's masked as a shadow under his eye. BUT, what your much clearer photo did do was get me a hit on a violinist from Colorado. His name is George Morrison Sr, and this is a card of young Morrison Sr. The age difference is what's stopping me from saying it's definitely him. But, the hair, build, facial features, all look similar, this might be my guy.

Besides it being Hoffman's autograph, I had no idea he ever directed anything. That's very cool.
