The first three are again from flea markets and antique shops around Branson, MO. This young man is the only one labeled - in pencil on the back, it says "Taken at Wichita Dec. 13-1910".
The general quality of this photo isn't great - it's a bit out of focus, the lighting is funky. maybe it was a novice photographer. Perhaps around 1905? check out those shoes, good grief. I though sneaker laces were annoying when I was in 3rd grade. and that's a fun Art Noveau chair.
And a pair of little sweethearts! A tomboy and a little princess maybe. :) Again, those SHOES. I'm guessing children of yesteryear were very good with knots.
These last two I picked up in my other favorite place for old photos - Peddler Jim's in Savannah, GA. Self-explanatory:
This one is very old, very washed out. I actually reeled in the levels a bit in photoshop so it would be more visible. It's mounted on tough cardboard with the photographer stamp "DOUGHERTY BROS, 34 S. MAIN ST. DAYTON. O." which I assume refers to Dayton, Ohio. by the state of the photo and the way it's mounted all I can say is before 1910. does anyone form Dayton want to look up the Dougherty Bros? :)
