I posted some old pictures of myself in the "Our Gang" picture thread, so I thought it would be fun to drag out any old pictures of yourself or siblings, friends, and anyone else you thought was a rascal and resembled the old "Our Gang" days, especially vintage pics taken by your parents from the old days. For example, this is my older brother back in his rascal days... The "Our Gang" kids were supposed to represent real kids back then, so let's see some!

I dunn have photos of myself cos I hate having pictures taken. It's one of my quirks. But I like collecting old photos. Here's one of a young 1920's speed demon who would have fitted right into the Rascals, no problem.

It sort of has the look of an image that has been colorized. I actually have a publicity shot of 1930s film star Baby Leroy wearing a coat that's a lot like the one your brother was wearing in this picture.

Okay I've got a photo of me, aged 5, but instead of colorizing a black and white photo I've gone the opposite way and converted a color photo to sepia, cos I like sepia photos. Anyway I could never have been a Rascal, I had too many teeth.

I really don't know, but that picture came from a personal family album. Let me see the pic you're talking about. Here is another pic of my older brother and sister...

Oh, I can see some resemblance to you in that picture. It also reminds me of some publicity shots taken of Bobby Hutchins and Mary Ann Jackson at the beach in the early 1930s.
I've been trying to upload the photo I mentioned of Baby Leroy, but for some reason the attachment button isn't showing up for me in this thread. It's still there in all the other threads, though.

There is no attachment button for me either so uploaded my photo to a photo site. You could upload to imgur or someplace similar... Just click on the imgur logo and select 'upload' you dunn have to register or anything. Once its uploaded just copy and paste the 'direct link'

My publicity shot, circa 1963 (actually it's probably 1960)

Another pic of my oldest brother (the same boy in the first pic), ready to be "Butch", and set things straight...

I guess I was the Alfalfa of my family, making funny faces in family pictures (mid 1960's)... Yes, I was the youngest one in this picture.

Anyway I could never have been a Rascal, I had too many teeth. Well, I'm shocked. After all this talk about Harry and Alfalfa and all the other freckle-faced kids, I completely expected to see a face full of freckles on you.

The 1960's and us kids. Me proudly holding up my Monkees albums circa 1967, at the height of the Monkees TV craze... I was still a rascal...

So, was there some sort of machine to the right of this picture that was creating a force field that was pulling those albums out of the sleeves?
