This is great – what do you see at first glance? Two men who look like brothers or identical twins, or…….do you see the same man, in two different poses, one with hat, one without? I think definitely the latter. The gentleman’s attire is the same – the suit, tie, shirt, watch and chain, pipe – all identical. He must have been a guy with a great sense of humor; just picture him having a bunch of these made and sending them out to family and friends!

As for the time frame, we’re thinking possibly the 1930s. The stamp box design of a triangle with small circle in the center is a mystery, and the same for “Movex Fotos. 38, Regent Street” but our best guess at the moment is that this postcard was made somewhere in the U.K.
