As we will not have WiFi on our boot at EBI You will have to wait for an update about this show till tomorrow… meanwhile something very special…
This picture shows my dad (completely left), my uncle, grandma and another family member, with the VW bus from granddad he used for his bakery… this picture is very early fifties and revealed me the secret the “family” barndoor was made before 1953, (piano hinge vent wins) my dad always told me it was a 1950, but the full rain gutters denies that, search is on for more pictures in our family archives,
Thought it was cool this picture is on a set of matches!
Oh yes, the “family” barndoor was sold with the bakery in 1956 or 57 and I miss any trail from there on….:(
Will be continued…
