Gary oldman had kinda already did it with Rosencrantz and guildenstern are dead.

Prohibition was a tough time in the US.

Not just technically, but literally. They were hired by the Chinese corporation CAMCO, pilots for hire (mercenaries really) that were recruited from the US army air corps and the U.S. navy by Gen. Claire Lee Chennault, who was hired by Generalissimo Chiang Kai-shek to build a credible Chinese Air Force basically from scratch…..

I’d buy them off of you

Personally…I’ve left instructions to burn every photo..if I haven’t already done so myself.

Before anyone losses their mind.. I don’t like the idea of old family photos ending up in some antique store, for others to fawn over and buy.

"Oh bring us some figgy pudding..." Was a perfect holiday gift :)

No shame in that. Some of us have an embarrassing obsession with vintage clothes and will happily help.

Also the others are correct. This is 1920s. Someone really good can sometimes narrow it down within a few years.

Thanks for the tip!! 👊🏻

The fine people of America, every time they cracked open those cans of Spam.

These are the type of photos that Junk Journalers would love to have. Being one of them, I’m raising my hand. Happy to pay postage if you’re in the USA and your otherwise willing to part with them for free.

Everyone in this picture except the balding guy in the back: hurry tf up

People smiling in photos wasn’t always a common thing. It didn’t become a standard thing until the 20s and 30s so this might have predated that by a few years or they were late adopters. In Japan people didn’t smile in photos until after the back half of the 20th century.

I’m sorry but this is a terrible idea. There has to be a thousand more productive and creative things you could have done with them.

I believe I did ⬆️⬆️ ;-)

Read the top comment.

I just commented this! Such a great service and enjoyable experience. I even paid for a 6 month membership and really dug deep. It’s totally worth it to do and share with family that might continue the quest or who would have otherwise never known.

It would be interesting and maybe informative to see what is written in the discolored area around the crouching man 4th from right on bottom row. There is a violet rectangle of discoloration that extends from below his feet up into the chest of the man directly behind him.

Across that violet area on crouching man's chest to his knees you can clearly see some words written in old fountain pen. I don't see a similar mark anywhere else. The writing may be reversed if the note was against the photo or it could be that the original owner of the photo knew that man or was that man.

Anyway, great photo. Dig up some history for us.

Ancestry has free trials where you can really dig down into your family tree for up to two weeks. That’s more than long enough for an exhaustive search if you’re dedicated. It’s a lot of fun and you’d be really surprised at how far you can go back and the history you can put together. You’ll also be connected to a number of your relatives who also use the service. If the marriage and birth records don’t help you out, no doubt some of your distant relatives may be able to.

I will say it’s unfortunate there weren’t notes on the backs of the photos. I thought everyone from the pre-digital world did that. Maybe I just got lucky.

So which is it?

The way the picture was folded, it almost looks like it could’ve been used as a bookmark.

Hold onto them. AI will figure out who they are soon.

Late 20s, early 30s

Damn is that a bush????? Good lord
