| Vintage novelty photograph with frame, 99 cents. |
I had almost given up on my pursuit to keep Vintage Photo Friday a regular segment here on Let's Go Thrifting. Family photographs and snapshots have become increasingly hard to find at the thrift stores. And outside of antique stores (with antique store prices at that. Hello, sticker shock), I fear that they're being forever lost to the landfills.
But in a recent trip to the Goodwill of Warminster, PA I unearthed several quality finds, including the very subject of this post. While I love the nostalgic nod to yesteryear with staged novelty photos, this vintage-on-vintage photograph was a majorly surreal secondhand score.

| Then? It was faux vintage. Now it's vintage twice over. |
It's circa 1960 and these two couples are posing with a mock Oldsmobile from the 1930s, in front of a suburban landscape backdrop. 1960s and 1930s? It's doubly vintage!
And including the classy filigree frame, this might be my best find for under a buck.
Have you spotted any vintage pics at the thrift lately?
