Vintage shots from days gone by!

i would like to think [pardon my crazy imagination] that this photo was in a guys wallet for years, then stuck away in a drawer after he was married,raised kids and grew old. it is of his first girl, the one that broke his heart, the one he has not seen since high school..........the one he thinks of often.

 

It's a crop mark - Like the editor of a newspaper will say where the pic needs to be cropped. My brother had a lot of pics from a local newspaper offices and they were all marked like that for cropping for publication.

 

"Crop mark" where the photo would be trimmed to fit for printing, usually for use in a newspaper.

EDIT: I gotta learn to type faster.

 

It wasn't there when the picture was taken... Pre-OMEN event?

 

Think the padlock is big enough?
