  Yep, looks like a hot plate sitting on top of a white lady's shoe. That is a 1938 license plate there from the looks of things.

  The stuff in this junkyard is nicer than most stuff you can buy at any big box store.

Boys of the Newtown Scout troop collecting waste paper

from Llyfrgell Genedlaethol Cymru / The National Library of Wales

• Llyfrgell Genedlaethol Cymru / The National Library of Wales said:

  Children often helped out with the salvage effort. In November 1939 these members of the 1st Newtown Scout troop used a horse and cart to collect waste paper from around the town.

• Tightfisted Home said:

  I like how the smallest and youngest is left to hold the horse. Looking at this, it appears to have been photographed on High Street, outside The Buck Inn and Boots, facing the Market Hall.

• Kay said:

  What grabs my attention the most is the impish little lad in the front, with his stance, hand on the stack on the cart, and that sweet little look on his face. Priceless! This is a wonderful photograph.
