Vermont MVD Inspector and his antique Harley Davidson

Recently I took some time to sort through my collection of old photos and ran across this nifty image. I'm not good at identifying vehicles or the year they were manufactured so if someone knows what year this may be from please feel free to share. The patch on the officers shoulder reads 'Vermont MVD Inspector'. The motorcycle is marked Harley Davidson. Check out the little dog who seems to want a ride.

Siblings

Some old estate photos of siblings from years gone by. None of these children were identified and their names are lost to history but these are darling photos of them. Having your picture taken was an occasion to dress in your Sunday best. Some of these children are wearing very fashionable clothing at the time.

"It's just kind of rare," he said. "I've never heard of anybody ever having one. It turned a lot of heads, and it was kind of fun weirding out my friends all these years. Everybody dug it, but at the same time they were kind of creeped out to come into my house."

Creeped out? You think? Neat story though.
