Neat stuff. Flickr continues to suck as an interface for this kind of thing though.

Love these. Endearing somehow.
So many remind me of my childhood. I had a perambulator like this one. School books with images that were inviting, picture books, comics when the printing was like this with all the Benday dots, the funny papers.
When I was a little rascal in Jamaica and women wore bathing suits like this, there was a roasted peanut man who came by the house with a small cart, a simpler version of this one and one could buy them in a cone of newspaper for thruppance, those wonderful old 12-sided coins.
Thanks for the nostalgia wander.
