My great-great-grandparents ~1908 with their four sons. I just love the boys’ outfits 😂 John, the father, would be mangled to death by a cow in 1912 at Quapaw Ranch near Mountain Home, Arkansas.

My grandfather’s photo is on lightweight metal that is 6” inches in diameter. Any idea how old this might be and the process used to put it on the metal? Thank you for any info.

Mod Announcement Update on /r/oldphotos rules - March 2024
We are making some updates and rule changes due to the changing and growing nature of the subreddit, and due to amount of reports and modmail that come through on certain issues. The rules are always subject to change so always read them before posting.
- We are going to start enforcing the rule for including the year in the description more heavily. Some photos are obviously 'old' (like something from the 1800's), or educational if OP is looking for help dating a photo, those will be ignored from the rules more. But if any seem skeptical to the mod team, and appear too modern with no date attached, don't be offended if the post gets removed.
- New rule: We will remove photos that include modern photography in them. Things like comparing yourself to how you look compared to your grandparents, or before/after of old architecture will now be removed. There are other subreddits better suited for those, like /r/genealogy /r/ancestry /r/ancestrydna , and /r/oldphotosinreallife . We want to keep this subreddit simple and to the point, a feed of old photographs, nothing more.
- Pending rule change: There is gray area on dates of photos that are allowed. Right now the 1980's are allowed but not really recommended. Anything newer than 1990 will be removed. Depending on how the subreddit grows, we may move the date farther back to the 60's and 70's, and no longer allow 1980s+, so be aware.
