Tony Valenti, Tampa, Florida, 1913. Photo by Lewis Hine.

One of America's youngest newsboys. 4 years old and regular seller. Tampa, Florida, 1913.

I contacted Penny Carnathan of the Tampa Tribune, who contacted historian Gary Mormino, who then contributed a story about my search, which included the above photo. Some followup research by Penny, Gary, another Tampa historian, Paul Camp, and me, has apparently identified this boy as Tony Valenti. See Penny's and Gary's subsequent story in the Tribune at the link below.
