Those folds kill me. The price to restore this was quoted at around 200 by a highly recommended company in Manhattan who do good work. If it was from a family member I'd do it, but other than being an interesting fond I'm having a hard time spending that kind of $

It’s crazy to think the ppl in this photo have never seen a computer with internet, or used a GPS. So many things haven’t happened yet. I’m not sure what I would do with it either. If it’s just a few I’d keep them. Part of history now. Try to find out who’s in them.

Ancestry. com is worth it. Built the tree, check photos other people submitted for your shared relatives, find a match for someone in this photo, then be able to identify other people in the photo from that match. I’ve done this a TON. I recently found a large family portrait on a farm and slowly matched all but two of the 20+ people in it based on my ancestry research.

It's super weird to be uncomfortable about naked humans.

Thanks for tightening that up! I remember this from the book but couldn’t quite recall the details last night.

Feel sorry for the homey who married that homely woman.
Her feet are huge, that's a man.

This reminds me of my time as a submariner. Over the life of the boat, various members of the crew had cut out pictures of topless/nude women from magazines and glued them underneath equipment label plates in Maneuvering. It was a pretty well kept secret until the CO found out people were also drawing dicks in hidden places all over the boat. He made us remove and scrub everything inappropriate from the boat. So sad to remove so much collected history go away. The future crew will never know the record for highest reactor power achieved without the RO getting disqualified.

I would say the mid 20s given the length of the dress. Hem lines were at their shortest in about 1926 before starting to descend again but a wedding dress would have a longer hem anyway the very boxy tunic shape to the top invokes the earlier half of the decade to me so I would pin this in about 1925/6 but I'm not an expert or anything

This pic is closer to 1910-20. Looks like my grandmother’s era.

I would have never thought "bush" until reading the comments. It definitely looks thick to me, but not like a thick "bush". I guess people know who the model is and that's how they know what it actually is. I thought the pin-up was just someone everyone could enjoy looking at, no matter your inclinations.

This is crazy, there’s no way they’re all going to fit in that thing.
