Australians
The kind of group photo I collect. Flags suggest these people might be Australian but who knows.
Girl with curious hair
Pat notes her abnormally thin neck. Signed "Luther Newhall, M. D. September 1976"
Birthday girl
This is my find of the day. I can see it as one of the photos up in a bakery circa 1952.
Beaded purse
It's in nearly perfect condition, made of tiny steel beads, and has a wonderful heavy, slinky feel.
1915 family
Dated May 1915 on the back. The Todd family.
Forbidden City
It was a nightclub where all the entertainers were Asian.
Forbidden City 2
Some fun, huh?
Equine postcards
Waldorf Bar for Men
"At the sign of the bull and bear - The Waldorf Bar for Men. Park Avenue at 49th Street, New York."
1942 postcard
Is the angry guy supposed to be Japanese? On the back it says: "Dear dad, saw this card and it reminds me of myself so will send it to you. Am in Norfolk on liberty if it could be called that. Went roller skating this afternoon and met a cute little chick. Went to church with her tonight. Had a pretty good time. Sure hope I get home soon. You know how the service gets you down every so often. Be good, Bob". Postmark looks like 11-12-45, but he wrote over the last digit.
Letter
Letter art
Why I bought this letter.
Alcohol humor
Beer card
Western Union
Blank telegrams. I'd have been more interested if they had messages, but I got them for Pat who adores things like this. He imagines someone who had stacks of them that they stole from their job and they've been using them for scratch paper for years.
