All Boys

Yep - All boys !
Answer based on vintage of photos.
It was not uncommon for young boys (and men) to be dressed in dresses and the alike.
Think along the lines of 'Little Lord Fauntleroy' !
Male children of well to do folks in and around the early 19 hundreds were commonly dressed in Unisex outfits.
On the other hand how can you tell with all the vital sexual identifiers hidden ?
And that the photos could have been photo shopped and copied to resemble dated old time material !

I very much doubt that anyone would photoshop something like the pictures above, if they did, it would amount to a case of fraud, which would lead the seller into serious trouble with the law if the item was later found to be a fake. A serious collector of antiques and old photographs can spot a fake whenever he or she sees one. Just as a passport can be checked to see if its genuine or forged there means and ways of checking to see if a photograph is genuine.
Why is it when someone sees something like this they are quick to assume that the items are not genuine?

I dont think younger people today realise that it was the norm for boys to be dressed very girlishly,even as late as 1944 I was still dressed in satin and lace as seen in my Avatar and I know I wore other girlish clothes. :-)

Easy answer because in this day and age of digital photos and high tech printing gear these things are possible.
I have been doing photo work with all kinds of cameras and darkroom equipment dating back to the early 50s.
Back then it was considered a work of art to duplicate copy crop what have you to make a photo older than its
appearance. Today all that is is a piece of cake to do the reproductions. I am even sceptical of the new currency
in print today. Computer & printers are real good - the usual give away is the inks of today are too recently carbon
dated. Take art masterpieces that when the outer layer of content is removed another appears beneath - almost
no such thing as virgin canvas. Yes it is illegal to forge reproduce a Passport as well as photos depicted as art but
fool me once - well fine but fool me twice won't happen once you know what to look for.
Every kind of scam and spam are out there today and it is reasonable to suspect; inspect; test and review again
and yet again anything that is questionable and has value.
No such thing as being too overly cautious !
