Junk, Food: 1942
October 1942. "Butte, Montana. Eating lunch at the scrap salvage campaign." Medium format acetate negative by Russell Lee for the Office of War Information. View full size.
Wearing three hats
The young man with facial hair is wearing what appears to be a chauffeur's cap. There's a sort of name pin attached to the top, with a tiny bowler and top hat hanging down from it. I can't read the pin. Dave, can you please help?
Thanks Dave. "Don't blow your top" is a phrase I haven't heard or thought of in a long time. It's very Andy Hardy.
Tasty
"Golly, I sure am glad we were able to salvage these sandwiches from the trash!"
Scrumptious
I'll bet those sandwiches tasted so good to the long-ago hungry, hard-working boys. I hope they got potato chips and a drink too, plus a giant oatmeal cookie.
