The only one I recognize for sure is #7, Huddlesfield Ben, who is considered to be the founding father of the YT breed, and to me is the one that looks least like the yorkie of today. #3 looks like it could be Ch Petit Magnificent Prince, the first American-bred to win an all breed Best in Show in the US, but I could be wrong on that. Otherwise I haven't a clue. (And the only reason I know this much is that I have Joan Gordon's book and remembered the pictures....had to look up the first American Ch. name, though. LOL)
