c. 1940 Photograph of a time-traveler

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.”

If you look at the upper right part of the photo, you will see Bigfoot.

He looks like the male equivalent to a Bobby Soxer. His letterman sweater is clear. The wool jacket he has on outside is pure 1940’s. The glasses are not way farers, but the look like a precursor.

A camera in a leather case. I have one just like it in the attic.

It’s real. That was me. I wanted to visit a time when Americans were patriotic to fight evil like the Nazis’ and Japs, people spoke English and didn’t have a media that licked the boots of a Dem president who never had college nor high school transcripts to show for it.

I had never heard about this before.

Here is a link to a Daily Mail story ... Is this a time-traveler in a Charlie Chaplin film? Footage from 1928 shows woman ‘using a mobile phone’:

He’s not wearing a hat so OBVIOTUSLY he from the future.

The real time traveler is in the upper left. Behind his hand is a cell phone.

He’s a time-traveller. No, really!

I met him at the bar in Marsport in 2136!

Factoid: that bridge-opening was the most people ever at one time and place in Gold Bridge, which is a lovely settlement, one of B.C.’s choicest.

Don’t know what you mean by that (honestly), but if you were trolling, I took the bait.

> What year was the T-Shirt invented?
Invented in 1913 by the US Navy. It’s 100 years and a few weeks old.

Sweater looks just like my dad's letter sweater from Monmouth College circa 1945.
