Delicious hairy ones... thanks Ricky
Good morning, Ricky and all, I've seen the picture of the B/W pipe smoker on another blog. It is a condensed version of a larger photo that shows a woman in the background, sitting in what would be called abject squalor and poverty. He is an unemployed lumberjack in Oregon circa 1939, towards the end of thee depression and before WWII. I have always been attracted to men during this period and find him particularly handsome as many men were in the movies in the 30s and 40s. Makes me wonder if I was born out of my time and should have lived during those years. His Social Security number tattoo has intrigued me since I first saw him and wonder if he joined the services when America entered the war. The answer to that question and many more are probably lost in time but proves again that "Every picture tells a story."
Wow Milleson, nice comment. I too am/was fascinated by the 1930-40s. Tough times; even my great-grandpa couldn't sell a pig for enough money to buy shoes for his kid. All of his eleven sons returned from the war.
Gotta love the otters!
I do love the different hairy patterns on all men, especially, otters and bears.
The gentleman with the SSA #535-07-5248 is Tillman Thomas Urs Cave 1912-1980, he was a Sergeant in Ww2 1942-46, and married three times.
The Great Depression affected many, times were tough. My family on both sides were fortunate. My dad’s father was a motorman (streetcar driver) for the Muni in San Francisco, his granddad was a machinist and they both kept their jobs. He had an aunt whose husband was left unemployed and she did tealeaf readings to earn money, she made good money charging a dime or quarter for a tea leaf reading. His grandmother always made sure the family gave to a local soup kitchen. My mom’s dad made legit liquor that wouldn’t poison or kill people from his still, and sold it to speakeasies in New Jersey, Philadelphia and New York City, and her mother did tarot card and palm readings for a quarter. Her Hungarian/Polish grandfather and grandmother and the rest of the family did a singing and dancing gypsy act for carnivals on occassion to get by. -Rj

Rj, fascinating information. I am always amazed at what a photograph can tell us and the personal connections we have with them. Your family history should be a movie, so colorful and deeply layered I'm sure. Thanks for my pipe smoking man's name. The woman in the cropped picture witting behind him was one of his wives, and a good looking woman in her own right.
Beaux hommes hirsutes.
Plus ils ont de poils, plus ils sont chargés sexuellement.

Milleson - You might me remembering the post I did on him two or three months ago.

Thank you for sharing your thoughts. I have known the history of this photo. I have always found this period in America history fascinating.
