Quoting: PolskaDoll Hey this is great. When was it taken? well, time is good guess.. I am going to say roughly between 1935-40 I cant say for sure theres no date on it, but he died january of 1942 just a little over a month after they declared war on Japan..

Isn't it amazing to get just a little snippet of a time before any of ours? I wish that I had something to put here but I'm really looking forward to seeing old pics that might appear here.

Quoting: Grzegorz_ Cool stuff. Thanks G.. Quoting: PolskaDoll Not like the hats... Hats were big thing then.. they go with fashion today.. but not to many people wear them like they did back then.. this pic has to be turn of the century its too bad no one thought of writing the dates on these pics.. that would have been nice..

Thanks for sharing these with us Patrycja, I love looking at old photos. I have a shelf of children's photos in my living room, the oldest is my great grandmother aged four taken sometime in the 1870s. Keep em coming Pat, I for one will never tire of looking at them

Its often funny in old photos to see how little men and male fashion have changed but how much women & female fashion have changed :-) Great photos btw

you are lucky to have these. on my grandmothers side, something must
have happened to the documents.. I had to do research to find any little
bit of her past and how she came here.. America that is..

Thanks for sharing.. Now I dont feel so lonely :)))
