Sailor close-up portrait snapshot. 1940’s. Private collection.
Another photogenic sailor, with the handy comb in the breast pocket -you know he had just used for this shot- and a cap atop his blonde head that has definitely seen better days!
Although it may seem that way, I don’t specifically look to collect sailors. But this is a nice close-up, ladies and gentlemen.

No, you don’t specifically look for sailors, just hunky young men of any description!
Yes, his hat tells a story. I wonder how it could get so battered and still be so clean and white? He needed to try a new laundry!

Haha! As long as they’re from before 1960 I’m game.
About the laundry, the bleach worked for sure. :D
