One snow day last week my folks and I opened a dusty box. This box came from my late Grandfather's attic and it contained photos and memorabilia from generations of my family. It was a joy to look through!
As you can see, a lot of it is Navy related - journals, souvenirs, logbooks and postcards.
And much of it is personal photographs, letters and sentimental items. Unfortunately not all of the photos were inscribed so unless we recognised the people in them, we were at a loss as to who they were. That didn't detract from the experience. Wondering was half the fun!
I leafed through this Navy Week Souvenir Guide from the 30s and found some great old school advertisements.
Typographically I don't think the fonts are that dated. I wonder if they come around full circle like fashions do.
A colour ad! Carlsberg must have been flush in the thirties.
I love this post! :D We found some ancient family photo albums recently too.. it's sad that we don't know who most of the people are because their names aren't written.
