Oh, To Sit at Gene Rayburn's Table
Gene Rayburn, beloved host of Match Game, at dinner with Fran Allison, Gene's wife Helen, and Burr Tillstrom. Since Fran & Burr are from Kukla, Fran & Ollie, dare we hope for dinner and a puppet show? Photo circa early 1950s.  Labels: 1950s, celebs, old photographs
The Trouble With Trimbles...
Is that they cannot agree on how to spend their money: The Trimbles, mother and son... His dreams are of a red convertible, hers of a new typewriter.  Photo of Mrs. Pearl Carter Trimble and her son Carter Trimble from an article on the "mother & son writer-photographer team" inside the march 1951 issue of Profitable Hobbies magazine, which we assume stopped making a profit decades ago. Yes, I know there are unfortunate holes in the vintage paper; let's just be glad we can see what we can. Labels: 1950s, hobby, old photographs, vintage magazines

Dauntless Dale Isn't Sheep-ish
From Quick magazine, October 31, 1949: "Karen Hutchinson, 2, of Ontario, Cal., simultaneously enjoys a free ride and shows off the prize-winning form of 'Dauntless Dale,' a 1 1/2-year-old Hampshire ram which took Junior Division honors at last year's Los Angeles County Fair. Rams, especially prize winners, don't usual pose so willingly."  Labels: 1940s, childhood, children, old photographs, vintage magazines

It's Not My Mom
This looks like my mom, but it's not; this lady's name was Jeri and she was famous. I don't know her. But I do know my mom.  It's a small photo, just like the ones you give away to your friends in school. Only I didn't get this from Jeri herself (I told you I don't know her); I got it with some other vintage photos of famous people. That explains why it's not signed on the back with a note for me to 'stay sweet' (which I did) or how fun I was in math class (which I was). If you know who this lady is -- even if she's not your mom -- please let me know. Labels: 1960s, celebs, collecting, old photographs
