Not until the mid-1920s […]

RESTORATION- Early 1900’s little girl with her little ‘Chow’

  Circa early 1900’s . This is such an unusual photo in my personal collection, of a darling girl with her little ‘chow’ on a leash. Perfectly to scale to one another!   This little dog is very typical of the early chows, but in miniature. It does not look to be a puppy judging by […]

1921 Hazel Glab of the high profile California murder case, pictured with one of her prize winning chows.

The above  photo is antique and in my private collection.  I did a bit of restoration work on this 8×10 press photo to remove some scratches and “noise”.    The woman,   Hazel Glab,was a flamboyant flapper, whose husband, John, died under mysterious circumstances June 18, 1928, at 12744 Ventura Blvd., in Studio City. Murder charges […]
