This is a film still from a probably now lost silent film in 19mm format. 
I found a reel at a local flea market some years ago, it was inflammable cellulose nitrate stock and had begun to sweat picric acid. I tried several collections but no one wanted it because of the state it was in and I didn't have a safe way to store it. So it's now gone. I was able to print a frame from the beginning of the reel. If anyone thinks they may recognize the actor or film let me know!

Round House Jeans with Crotch Rivet

Unusual 1940s-50s blue jeans with gripper zipper and crotch rivet. Most jeans by this time period had dropped the rivet. Also has adjustable waist snap. These are teen size 16, so I suppose this is to accommodate a growing boy.  Round House always has cool graphics on labels and tags.
