This is available if anyone is interested;

B. Max Mehl in 1896 at the age of twelve taken soon after his family moved to Ft. Worth, Texas. Mehl was already dealing at this age, having begun collecting at ten. This image (only the head) was used in some of Mehl's advertising.

Ex Mehl estate, Kosoff, Stocker.

    You might want to contact Mark Feld, either on the NGC site or at heritage. He might have a special interest in the photo because he is related to Mehl.

    The height is about the same, but the photo has more hair image

    Agree with the sentiments about contacting Mark to see if there is interest.

    Bump and would like to note that I scanned this image and have been working to repair it in photoshop. It's been a lot of fun. I'll post it when it's finished.
