The Army Made a Man Out of Me, Much Handled 1943 Miami Beach Beefcake Snapshot antique Milton Bradley blocks I believe earlyish 19th cAnother one just too fun to resist for the photo itself and for the notes on the back written by the subject, and for its beaten up condition, too, suggesting that it was carried around by someone for a good many years. Perfect that it was taken in Miami Beach, and I love the "Hair Cut" in quotes. 1943. 4 7 8" x 3 3 8". Creases, losses, cracking as evident, which add to its objecthood!
