Could that be Jim Thorpe? Then it would be a historic photo.

Here you go Manfred you can not link to an image on Shorpy.

You have to host the image in your own picture sharing service just like images of your hat if you want it to show up.
Not like the Non Shorpy web all star's thread of image's that can be linked too.

If I were a betting man, I would wager that it is not. Thorpe was a bigger man and facially does not resemble this fellow.

The gal looks like what Kirstie Alley turned out as.

I love the poetry of that fish 'n' chips sign: Orders neatly boxed to take home. What a simple but lovely rhythm.

Thanks for the superb posts, Ed! The hats in post #194 are surprisingly (to me, anyway) stingy-brimmed.
