I mean WOW. 1940s never looked better.



What was your last lucky find?

Is that your grandfather, calingo?

Not sureeeee.


Considering the fact I've been drooling over this pic for 30 minutes, I hope not.

There's a certain similarity though

PANDURITO said:

Slight, maybe.

But lawdy lawdy what a profile.

Anyhow, back on track.

What was your recent lucky find?

You been on Shorpy again, haven't you?

From 1916, a German sailor interned in the US;

Lucky goat.

I mean, isn't that the same guy?

HamsterHuey said:

Nope that is a German sailor the pic in the first post is an Australian sailor

mdiver said:

Wow, u do know your sailors.

Plus one is in 1916 the other in 1940s.

I think I like 40s a bit better.

that looks like my uncle erik

ZombieKitten said:

they are trying to find out who that was.

So am I.

mdiver said:

Oh, I didn't bother to read.

rushing07 said:

it's not him, he was never in the australian navy, and back then he was just a little kid

ZombieKitten said:

that's such a cool pic!

but how come there is a computer there???

rushing07 said:

I think this was before laptops were invented

ZombieKitten said:

Yes. It makes sense

These finds of mine are deliberate, not lucky;

^ gorg

I love the little blue bird on the cabinet.

rushing07 said:

PANDURITO said:

This is my truly lucky find:

Lucky boy.
