Shorpy is a great site for viewing vintage photos. If you want a real sense of history visit this blog often. I love studying the faces of the many individuals who have passed from this life into the next. (see if you can spot two special people in the photo above) 

Fan Photo from Hagmyre Crumpetts

This 1921 photo was sent in by Hagmyre Crumpetts of Pimento, Arizona. He discovered it while browsing the book sale at the local library. His discovery has earned him $7,000 and a book of coupons from the Dollar Tree.
