hirsca Posted June 5, 2012 Share #1 Posted June 5, 2012 Estate sale find last week. It must have been in the attic since the war, it was filthy. After lots of TLC with small paint brushes and damp Q-tips, it turned out pretty good. I printed the 8x10 pic from the internet, so it's not original to the frame. Very cool scenes showing Army, Navy and Air Corps in action. Any other similar ones out there? Thanks, Al Hirschler in Dallas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

These additional close-ups got tossed into cyberspace when the site went down. Thanks, Al. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hirsca Posted June 13, 2012 Author Share #8 Posted June 13, 2012 Yep Al. That was the show. I saw it on the dealers table in the secondary hall. Troy Yup, that was me wearing the VFW apron with two tables that looked like 5 pounds of groceries in a 3 pound sack. My brother was at the next table with the red USMC recruiting blanket covering his table. Al. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
