    was the "paperclip belt" the "fad" back then?
  • Periodic Geese said:
    WOW what a picture.
  • Beverly Leeck said:
    Yes... the paperclip belt was just something fun we did back then!!! Can't think of anything similar except maybe those people who walk around with chains hanging from their belts. Children didn't usually have their own money so buying a wearable 'fad' would not be possible. We made our own :)

    This Texas town and county are both "San Augustine" not "Saint." The tags need to be updated.

    Man, look at French West Africa and French Equatorial Africa. I also see the Belgian Congo and the Union of South Africa. I love seeing old maps like this

    The inoculation was before geography class.

    This looks like a Rockwell print to me.

    this photograph is beautiful. the sweet and innocent look of these boys is wonderful. - MarcoMudGarden you're a fool to write that comment about playing pocket pool. his arm is obviously behind him.
  • Chris Spehr said:
    Just amazing color and sharpness!
  • Gwen Page said:
    Scenes like this are so familiar from films - where they're pretending - this is the real deal! Wonderful!
  • Qasem-Amin said:
    put this photo in black and white and you will have the classical romantic look of the 1940s,,,,,while in color it reveals how the clothes of those boys were poor, unclean and not in good order,,,,,,, thank you for this realistic view ,,,,,it is sort of curing for my obsession with black and white photos!
