Remembering My Father on Father's Day, Powder Compact with Photograph, 1920s
Charles Franklin Capps (1909 - 1973)
On this Father's Day I wanted to make a post of remembrance for my father. He was the sweetest and most considerate man I have ever known. We lost him much too soon at 64 to his first heart attack.
Since all my family photographs as still packed from the move I could only find this 2 inch diameter brass powder compact. It holds a small snapshot of my father standing by an early automobile behind a celluloid cover. It predates my birth and I think the picture was taken when he was a teenager. I find the ill fitting suit and round glasses rather endearing. I found it among my mother's things and think it may have been made when they were courting.
