Sure looks like him...but the lips and nose make me think maybe not....your photo the looks like he has a "fuller" face, like heavier, if that make sense... cool photo though.

Kind of looks like Joe Kennedy. Then I looked up pictures, and here is one I found.

This is Joe as a young man, don't think it's him. I don't think Roosevelt either ------------ hard to say.

It does look like Joe Kennedy. Maybe someone in the Kennedy family tree?

No real answers as of 8/2017 most on another collectors site seem to think Joe Blow from kokomo ;D I was thinking FDR because he became ill not long after the photo but yet the bones seem a bit off so? and is closer to Joe, maybe one of the dead Kennedy's (a joke referring to the band "Dead Kennedy's")
I bought this from the estate of Earl Dodge who was in politics and even ran for President he had a large political collection but he didn't have this marked.
Should I ever find out I will post it here, Thanks for the comments and looking.

I know...old thread. But I was bored. 😁 Nkt FDR, but close. To me, he looks a little like Anton Cermak...the Chicago Mayor who took a bullet for FDR and died. JMO
