Haha this is a question I have for myself too. Honestly, I keep them all, but there are some who I have no idea who they are and never will lol.

Also, your picture looks mid to late 1920’s, not 40’s

Midwest. In the 70s they were plentiful, but by early 80s, Right Wing Christians and Left Wing Feminists had began discouraging it.

Grandma? Who’s the girl in the photo? The one in the boots with the fur?

I know! Like the opening lines of a movie or something. A narrator talking over the top of a 1950s suburban scene right?

I'd still shag her today.

Not sure where in the U.S you grew up, but I grew up in California, and nudies and babe calendars were absolutely ubiquitous in repair shops and such, well into the eighties.

You must be European. By the late 70s early 80s topless women were considered tasteless in places of business. Hell, it was rare that college dorms had any pin ups.

Ahh back when men weren't confused about their gender good times

If this was in your grandmother’s things, I would suspect it’s her parents, depending on your grandmother’s age. As others have said, it looks like they were married in maybe the early 1930s

I have a fair amount of old unmarked photos. I’m impressed with peoples ability to pinpoint to the 1920’s. Is there a online site that would make this easier for the rest of us?

That dude in the dress sure looks pissed

Throw them away. Life is about what we do when we’re alive, not about the stuff we get or the pictures we take. If there’s no one left, these photos have no value. If unsure, put them in a box, add a calendar note in five years. Then throw them away.

TIL Mads big brother played the Russian president in House of Cards.

This happened to me when my grandmother died in 2005. My mom and I started searching the internet a few years ago and found out that all of the portrait style photos where taken by the same photographer (you could tell by the backdrop).

This photographer was notable in the city but his entire collection lost. Local historians were looking for his works as he was Vancouver's first Chinese photographer. He mostly photographed immigrant families and marginalised communities.

The city wanted to put together an exhibit and add his works to the archives, so we donated them and they were able to actually identify my non relatives because other families had also donated their photos.

Everyone knows smiling wasn't invented until 1952

Killing Nazis seems like the best use of a fighter plane. I hope the lieutenant got plenty of opportunities to down those fascist fuckers.

“Burn” is so dramatic. Why not shred?

BaBUSHka.

My mechanic had a stack of porno mags next to his tool box up until the early 2000’s

Since my previous post of this link is not viewable in the sub (thanks u/mayperalnavigator for explaining it to me..) here's a screen shot of the very same pic with the website link viewable... check it out...

Idk that’s like part of the theme of the bathroom I guess.

Why are they in a bathroom?
