Re: Looks old. HELP - Lithography stone must be page # and...

You must think logically. The number cannot be a page number. As there is no logical reason why someone, with modern paint, would paint a book page number on a stone that size. The size of the stone is too small to be part of a building. Therefor must be from a stone post, or just a stone set on the ground. It is clearly an address marker.

Do you remember where in Michigan it was found? What city or town and was it found at a store or on the ground someplace? Where you found it may help you discover what it is. As for the image being on there. I have no clue why. Only thing I can guess is that, if it is an address marker, that it marked the location of a farm.

The picture clearly shows a man (and possibly a woman) with dark skin wearing clothing reminiscent of the south during the civil war era. Though it is hard to tell much from such a small image.
