Vaudeville or circus entertainer studio photograph from the late 19th / early 20th century.   Looks like a jaw-balancer act.   They used a hidden support in his mouth or in his mustache to help with the balance.  Still not easy.  IMHO.   And I believe that there is a monkey sitting among the chairs --- see my third photo.  I did not notice him at first . . .    

Print is mounted on the usual chipboard used in that era.  In good shape. 

This is a collectable vintage photograph from my collection.  Unless I describe it as a reprint, this photo is original to the time of capture.  

My inventory ranges from 19th century prints to abstract snapshots and Polaroids dating into the 1970s.   All of my photographs are in varying condition.   Please closely examine my photos of the photos for possible wear and tear.    Please save me a seller and check in once in awhile. 

Your photo will be sleeved in plastic and shipped in a stiff cardboard envelope or box via insured USPS Ground Advantage.    

FAQs:  

1. YES.  I COMBINE SHIPPING. If an auction, wait for an invoice with shipping charges combined,  or pay if you like and I will refund the extra shipping in the form of a refund.  If a Buy it Now, please put all your items in ONE SHOPPING CART and go ahead a pay the total.   I will refund the extra shipping in the form of a refund when I pack and ship.   

2.  Carefully examine my studio-quality photographs.  I do my best to document any flaws or issues. I tend to go overboard in showing flaws.  I hate surprises when I buy on eBay as much as you do.     I also do my best to accurately describe the items I find.  Some categories I know better than others.  I will tell you what I know and what I have researched.  After that you are on your own.  Please ask questions and I will help out if I can. Some eBayers have been very generous helping me out with the nuances of certain categories.  Feel free to help me out with your knowledge.    I welcome your expertise and enjoy learning about new stuff.  

3.  I would like payment with 48 hours of your auction win.  If for some reason you can not meet that time frame, please let me know within that 48 hours and I will work with you.  If you can not meet this requirement, please do not bid.  

4. I basically sell "As Is."    That said, I will accept returns if I have been negligent in my listing information.  This includes outright mistakes, misrepresentations,  or any errors on my part. I do not know everything about everything (don't tell my kids that please).  If you are not sure about something and want to "try it out" at home before having "Buyer's remorse," please do not bid.   Every auction or estate sale I go to is "as is." I do better than that with my return policy.    I mess up once in a while and I have honored all legitimate returns.  Please respect this policy.
