Prohibition? Say what again?
“If my calculations are right, I shall be 100% drunk this fine evening.” 3″ x 3.5″ Private Collection.
I’m not exactly sure what this amused and dapper gent in evening wear is home distilling, but clear alcohol is never good! I think it was most likely moonshine. Drink up!
Happy National Beer Day!
That’s right! Click for larger image.
Today is the anniversary of the end of Prohibition (April 7 1933) 82 years ago! Now, that’s a sign I can get behind. Cheers!

RPPC. Private Collection
This postcard is beat up and the back is almost completely erased by time. Someone drew a mustache on the Al Capone looking guy to the left. At first I was disappointed to see that, then it dawned on me it’s part of what makes it hilarious. Did one of the two others add it? The guy in the middle has quite the relaxed pose with his arms behind the necks of his friends. Don’t they look like your stereotypical 1930s gangsters? The suits and fedoras are fantastic.

Outdoors. 2.5″ x 3.5″ Private Collection.
An outdoor shot. He’s well dressed and seems to be hanging out at a park on a sunny day.
I estimate this one to be from the 20s or early 30s.
