Mother's cross in wear photograph

[SScollector]

Hello all,

I just have a quick question. Can anyone please tell me how hard it is to find a period photograph of a German woman wearing a mother's cross?
Also, does anyone know what I should expect to pay for such an item?

Thanks in advance!

Hello Chris,

I don't think they're difficult to find. A portrait photo with a woman wearing the Mothers Cross might be anywhere from $5 - $20, but it would have to be a really special one IMO to be $20.

Actually they are not that easy to find and prices may go up quite fast.

For several years i tried to get every picture that became available online and sometimes had to pay quite a few bucks to win them. Since a while i stopped as im somewhat satisfied on pictures and only get the rare or really interesting ones. But more people have an interest in Mothercrosses and pictures now and prices on these can sometimes do crazy things!

best regards,
Gaston

I collect photos, but I only have one. I think it's a little hard to get. About the price .... For $20x .... (Greg), do not get my photo.

I guess it depends on success in looking in local areas ... the portrait photo here was $18 a couple of months ago, and the other one which is a detail from a postcard was a couple of bucks at a local flea market. Though you do have a better looking lady in yours, padalec!

Best,
Greg

Indeed price's are going up on these $18 is a steal mini's in wear are not easy to find.

It all depends on what youre willing to pay in the end. It all depends what kind of picture it is.

Congrats. I was tempted myself.
That is a very nice ceremony photo, I wonder what year it was taken...
