Figure 1.-- Here we have a portrait of the Corder children. It was a postcard back snapshot sent to grandmother. We do not have their names, only their father's name--Walter Corder. The boys were 6-8 years old. They have similar hair cuts. The younger boy wears a short pants sailor suit. His older brother wear a shirt and knickers with knee socks. Both boys wear double strap sandals which were not all that popular in America for boys by the 1920s. Here they seem to be summer wear.

It is at this time American boys were shifting from long stockings to knee socks. The 1920s is confirmed by the AZO stamp box, 2 triangles up and two down.
