A Prized Possession
The boy on the left has an egg peeking out of his bib pocket.
Could it be a real egg found up a tree or a porcelain egg he won in some contest? Either way it would be a prize to a boy of his age and for me too about 10 years later.
Do young boys still treasure eggs today?
[Not as much as they treasure a nice shiny river stone. - Dave]
[EvenSteven ... A stone? Could be since carrying an egg in your pocket could lead to disaster especially if you have a jealous sibling.
If it is a stone then it is a cool looking stone and it would have gone into my cigar box of treasures]
Wall blob
Oh look, it’s the face of a major religious personality! No wait, maybe a map of Austria.

What a marvelous picture
Of two lovely boys, they look so angelic. But I bet they could be sitting on slingshots and rocks!
