[QUOTE="Pat P, post: 405567, member: 201"]One trick I use if I can't find anything in regular Google search is to look in the Google/Books area. Lots of time it brings up mentions of items, people, or places in various printed material. Unfortunately, the photos aren't close enough to tell the printing method. Are you able to look through a loupe to see if there are dots, and what type if there are? Offset prints show regularly-shaped dots and most often are mid-20th century or later, though the process was also used in the beginning of the 20th century. Irregularly-shaped and sized dots would mean you have chromolithographs from the late 19th century. If there are no dots, they could be 19th century or better quality 20th century prints. Whether or not the colored sections look hand-painted can also be a clue to age.[/QUOTE]
