What If...Calico Jack cleaned up his act?
Vintage (circa late 19th/early 20th century) stock card (advertisement) featuring a man with a curly blond bob-mullet and a moustache. He is posing demurely in a lighter brown suit with breeches, a white collar and cuffs, and light blue short scarf tied around his neck. He also sports a large yellow brooch (?) in the center of his chest that looks like a flower or the sun.

Merchant name at top of card: William H. Frear. Again enlarged nd improved, Troy Cash Bazaar.
Verse at bottom of card:  "Conceive me, if you can, a matter-of-fact young man, an alphabetical, arithmetical, every-day young man!" Patience. [refers to Gilbert and Sullivan opera titled Patience]
