Postcard. Private Collection.
EXCHANGES
Mr. would like to exchange good mandolin for an umbrella.
You don’t say! A cute French postcard with the hand scratched rain effect. Love the hat and slim fitting overcoat.

Bribing the copper at Cell 23
Bribing the copper. RPPC. Private Collection.
Ok, this arcade RPPC is one of my top favorites. Buddy #2 is in a cop costume -complete with the blackjack and cigarette in mouth-, he’s looking about, making sure no one’s watching him, accepting a bribe from jailbird Buddy #1. Too much!

Winnie and Harry: two peas in a pod
A very happy couple. RPPC. Private Collection.
There must be some truth to the belief that happy couples start to look alike. This is Harry and Winnie Bowman, and don’t they look happy or what? They have this glimmer in their eyes. Two peas in a pod these two. Unless they were brother and sister, but I don’t see siblings posing this way.
The note on the back is sweet too. “To our loving little girl, from Winnie and Harry Bowman.” Addressed to Miss Eva Sloggy. Ontario. Wis.

Not a country folk like you!
Life of the party. RPPC. Private Collection.
Something uplifting now. Mr. Life of the Party is standing apart from his group, accessorized with a coat, top hat, cigar and cane. His buddies are laughing at his staged city boy cocky attitude (and I am too). Two women found it funny as well, but the four in the middle are more interested in taking a good picture of themselves!
Stereotypes were and always will be funny. This group seems to have had quite a good time on a sunny summer day. This picture was taken in Nebraska sometime in the 1910s.

My uncle Patrick as a boy
My uncle Patrick. Family photo.
What a cutie, huh? He was born in 54, so this was most likely taken in 1960 of whereabouts. On the cusp of my blog timeline, but I’ll make exceptions for family. Such a pretty photo! We all have that cheeky smile in the family. He doesn’t know I posted this picture of him on here…shhh…..lol.
