The 51 on the basketball would put this at 1951. I did some digging around on Google images to try and figure out if this was a local high school based on the uniforms/font, but I couldn’t find anything.

I love their sneakers. I’ve a bit of a crush on number 8 there to be truthful with you.

This one is my favorite. Strange collection of young ladies and children. I’m guess that’s santa in the middle. Either that or some kind of grand wizard.

Anyone recognize the room from the pillar, roof pattern, or windows?

This one provides the most detail. In ink handwriting on the back it says…

Forbes Mother & Father

Donald William MacLeod – born Feb 15, 1872 – Died Dec 2, 1948
Rachael (MacSeweyn) MacLeod – born April 16, 1878 – Died Dec 31, 1952

I am told Donald William MacLeod was the groundskeeper of Lady Dunn’s property in St. Andrews for most of his life. I have no idea if that is accurate.

Junk Store Prints

Comments Off

I found a couple of prints I liked in a junk store today--pretty sure they're both the real deal from the 1940s.

The first says 'Bob MacDade RCNVR 1940' on it.

The second one is my favorite. It has a stamp on the back that says 'Royal Canadian Air Force' and pencil writing that says CR 15550. The guy selling the photo suggested I add a caption with a joke about the Canadian military and equipment.
