Surprising how clear that photo looks.

that is a scan of a 3X5 print, I think called 620 film???? my Dad was the Vo Ag teacher in a small rural school after the war and the science teacher had been an Army photographer in WW II. He "liberated" a lot of equipment including a whole darkroom and printing setup. I have hundreds of pictures of me as a kid from the small to 8 x 10. None from the war though.

I had a nice orange grader in the early 50s, don't remember who made it Nylint maybe. Any way I recently stumbled on one in eBay or Craigs list maybe and it was high priced, like a couple hundred bucks. Naturally I don't know what happened to it or my Farmall pedal tractor either.

I'm sure when the drawdown began after WWII lots of "stuff" was liberated as well as the soldiers. gobble
