When you work around filthy men and filthy machines in a filthy part of town all day you need some beauty to remind you why you are even alive.

This is somewhere between say 1917 and 1925. That’s a drop waist dress on the bride and that headpiece predates WWII by literal decades. If you have any interest in genealogy, or if anyone in your family does, please scan them and upload them to a family tree. You have a decent chance of figuring out who they are that way.

I’d be grateful that I came from such rich blood

I located distant relatives that were able to identify most of the people in my grandmother’s collection of old family photos. I labeled them all for any future generations of family that want to save them.

In my estimations, the best way for an ADD person to do their crafting. It’s basically using paper you might otherwise throw away to create journals. It’s turned into an industry of multi-media creations that are often more art journals than anything else. Some people collect them. Some people do write in them. YouTube is a great resource for more information.

I was coming here to say exactly that. Shoes are 20s/early 30s and the bridesmaid's (?) hair the same. But then of course, the people could have been behind the fashion and it could be later.

He, in fact, took the photo himself and invented the processing technology to get it developed.

There is a reddit page that restores old photos, they have done a quick job for me before sometimes even colorize it.

American heroes in every regard. A shame they're almost all gone now.

That grin and finger point says all. "I'm coming for more of yours, Hitler!"

Yes. That was my first thought also. The attire looks older than the 1940's.

I would keep them, especially if they were in MY family's possession. More than likely, they're some VERY distant relatives. It would be a shame to throw them away (I think). Maybe, if time allows, you can do research on the pictures.

Early early 1900’s though I’d say

If you had a tub of black and whites from the 30s or earlier, that’s not only a ton of history flushed, but also money.

I'm not? I just think it's weird to have them plastered on your walls but to each their own.

haha... honestly, it's kinda OP's fault for assuming a 21st-century audience will automatically know the practice of scoring kills using their enemy's insignia. Side note: Charles Hall could launch a thousand boats with this picture.
