View attachment 215497It seems that the clothing the children wore will be the best thing to go on, as someone with a keen eye for fashion history could have a good idea as to what era certain articles belong to. I'm definitely *not* one, but when I looked at the boy's photo (nothing graphic, just the clothed bottom half of his body that was intact), I noticed that his boots seemed to be unique. Perhaps that may give a better idea of what time period we're looking at? My guess would be 1930s-pre WWII 40s, but that's guesswork at best.
Link to photo of boy's attire: Los Angeles John Doe (1921-1951)
His pants appear to be some sort of khakis / chinos, with a wide leg and cuffed. The shoes look kind of like a Chelsea boot to me. The girl looked like she was wearing a white, collared, button-down shirt and some sort of dress / jumper / pants in a dark fabric with a faint check pattern.
