1941: Photograph of a 'time traveler' ...
Young man (right side, third up) with sunglasses and contemporary-like clothing in this 1940s photograph.
- From Wikipedia:
A photograph from 1941 of the re-opening of the South Forks Bridge in Gold Bridge, Canada, was alleged to show a time traveler. It was claimed that his clothing and sunglasses were modern and not of the styles worn in the 1940s.
The modern appearance of the man may not have been so modern. The style of sunglasses first appeared in the 1920s. The sweater with a sewn-on emblem, is the kind of clothing often worn by sports teams of the period. The shirt is very similar to the one that was used by the Montreal Maroons, a hockey team, from that era. The remainder of his clothing would appear to have been available at the time, though his clothes are far more casual than those worn by the other individuals in the photograph.

Precisely what I thought—the sunglasses are not “modern” at all, and the sweater looked sports-related.

The ‘traveler’ looks like he’s seven feet tall.

He looks modern because he’s a slob.
BTW: Remember the movie clip that came out a few years ago, from 1928, with the woman talking on a cell phone?

I like the time-traveler pic from the 20’s-30’s, of the lady walking down a street talking on a *cell phone*.

The man behind the traveler has some freaky eyes.
