&lt;img we havesix really awesome, rare black and white photos of which some are signed.

Starting from upper left to right is a cardboard photo of the Franklin Brothers W.M.M.N. Fairmont, W.Va. and PARR Vitamins. Left to right: Delmas, Bill, Clyde. Bill is holding a mandolin. Clyde is holding a guitar. The backside is completely blank. This card measures 5-1/2 x 3-1/4\". Scant info.

Next we have Hank the Cowhand and the Foggy Mountain Boys. On the back in pencil, someone wrote, \"WMMN Fairmont, W.Va.\" It is an actual photo and it is 5-1/2\" x 3-5/8\".

Next is MEGA RARE \"Little Happy and Happy of W.T.I.P.\" (Charleston, WV). It is signed on the back, which reads, \"To Helen, from Happy and Little Hap.\" We cannot find any information on this cute little baby... and the man. It appears this must have been a comedy radio show. Notice it says \"Happy\" on the gentleman\'s tie. The little baby girl is extremely cute. I suppose she may have made gurgling sounds on the radio! 3-1/2\" x 5-1/2\" actual photo postcard.

Next we have a postcard, actual photo. On the back it is stamped, \"Jake Taylor, Station W.M.M.N. Fairmont, WV.\" It is signed, \"Plain Frank.\" Also, in pencil, it is written W.M.M.N. Fairmont, WV. It is addressed to Helen of which we have photoshop blurred out to protect the innocent. It has a 1 cent stamp and as you can see in photos, it was shipped in 1947. The recipient was born in the 1929. She was around 18 when she received these postcards. We searched a lot and could not find out who Plain Frank is, but he is playing a Martin guitar and appears to be in some sort of studio or hall. 3-1/2\" x 5-1/2\" actual photo postcard.

Next is a sent postcard from 1947 of Hank the Cowhand. Also, written on the back is W.M.M.N. Fairmont WV. You will see the exact reverses of these cards in my photos. Hank the Cowhand is the stage name of David E. Stanford. There is much information on the internet about him and even a neat rockabilly song by him on YouTube. 3-1/2\" x 5-1/2\" actual photo postcard.

We are also throwing in a photo of a little ballerina girl around age 10 because this photo was with these cards. On the back is written, \"Vivian Lee Haskell.\"
