A vintage photograph of a jewelry store interior from Cadiz, Ohio, taken in 1926. The label on the back reads: "from R. H. Black, Jeweler Box 102 Cadiz, Ohio (written in pen) John M Ramsey Raymond H Black May 1st 1926"

A vintage photograph showing the Laramie Bank Building under construction (date unknown - late 1920's to early 30's). The bank is chiefly Art Deco in its design and some of the ornamentation can be seen in the picture. I believe the address to be 5151 W. Chicago Avenue, Chicago, at the corner of Laramie and Chicago Avenues. I'm not sure if it's there anymore, as that neighborhood has changed over the years. All the makeshift scaffolding is sure interesting enough..!

Vintage photograph of the Blue Bird eatery and ice cream parlor, which once stood at the crossroads of Rand Road and Dundee Road, near modern-day Palatine, Barrington, and Arlington Heights, Illinois. The photo is mistakenly identified in the ballpoint inscription added sometime later as dating from the "1920's" - this is clearly not the case as an NRA (or National Recovery Administration) sign can be spotted in the window left of the door. It therefore dates from 1933 or after, which is consistent with some of the other signage. Chicagoans have long utilized Dundee Road to Rand Road en route to vacation destinations like the Chain of Lakes region in Illinois or Lake Geneva, Wisconsin. This is a highly developed area now with the usual glut of suburbia, but in the days prior to World War II, it was chiefly farmland, as can be seen in the background. The Blue Bird surely provided a welcome sight for many a thirsty or hungry traveler.

My mother had three brothers that served in World War II. Pictured above is my Uncle Mugs at Hickam Field, next to a plane which bears the name 'Beth' handwritten just above his head. I don't know what type of plane that is, but I bet some aviation buff will know instantly! Have a safe and festive holiday.

My mother had three brothers that served in World War II. Pictured above is my Uncle Jake in the barracks somewhere on Oahu. I don't know what he did to earn his stripes, and now no one's around to ask. I might just research it someday. Have a safe and festive holiday.

My mother had three brothers that served in World War II. Pictured above is my Uncle Dugan on what I'd guess is a vintage Harley Davidson motorcycle. If anyone can hazard a guess as to the make or model, I'd appreciate your input. Have a safe and festive holiday.

This vintage WWII photograph bears the inscription, "How do you like the tan?" Location unknown.

WWII vintage souvenir photograph folder from the "world famous" Kitty Davis Airliner Night Club of Miami Beach. For having been so famous, very little is known about Miss Davis in general, especially after her Miami days. Apparently, Kitty went south after her welcome in Chicago ran out, despite operating a night club supposedly staffed by a refined, all college-girl staff. The authorities didn't seem to agree.

Delightful antique photograph of a vernacular cross-gable Victorian home in the later stages of construction somewhere in the Mid or Middle West - possibly Kansas. Most of the exterior is complete except for the tower, and a few tools can be seen lying around in the foreground.
