On Shorpy:
Today’s Top 5

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.
