I spent the night playing Bingo, and I won nothing. Though it was all for a great cause, it was a fundraiser for the July 4th Parade in Milford I photograph each year. So we all win in the end.

I am documenting a few scrapbooks for a family. Clippings, cards, letters, and photos from World War II. Among the collection were some Hallmark cards from the 40s. This one is a Birthday card specifically for soldiers. It looks like it is hand-drawn and homemade yet is branded by Hall Brothers 1943. I tried to find info about it online, proving how spoiled we are, I assumed I could put the number into Google, and there would be a database of cards Hallmark has made. One was not found. Though I did read a piece that implies the number could mean only 25 made, I can not confirm—a great little bit of history.

It has been too long.

The brand “Tim Rice Photo” is ten years old this year, I have had 12 cards in that time. The first had Anna & Danny on it, my Peace & Boy photo, followed by a few customers photos, once I had smoke, which made no sense, there is a card just for bands, a Lego card, a groom with his head cut off and a couple “compilations” cards. Lately they have had old cameras on them. I came across a stash while cleaning out my truck, I had a few of each in the glove box. Not sure why, but it is cool to see the progression of brand history. Like looking back at bad haircuts you did not realize weren’t that good when you had them.
