Oshkosh, Wisconsin in the mid 1930's...

A woman's great-grandfather shot this movie back then.

1. HATS!!

Stylish hats for (almost) everyone!

[CaptYossarian]

11. Yes, hats.

You didn't expect them to be "topless", did you?

[smirkymonkey]

14. That stuck out for me as well!

I love them! I wish they would make a comeback.

2. Evidence of time travel?

Men without hats in the 30's?

[jayschool2013]

8. Yep

It must have been part of a safety dance.

I saw what you did there.

3. That is so cool.

Was the film found in Oshkosh?

In the 60’s and early 70’s I spent lots of time in Oshkosh.

We bought our school clothes there.
My first serious boyfriend lived there.
Lots of great bars once we turned 18.

We took the train from Fond du Lac.
Times have changed. I can’t believe two 12 year old girls were able to train travel alone back then.

Then later driving while impaired back to Fondy after bar time. Not just booze either!!
Good times.. Hearstrings you dee bomb!!
