I love these old pictures.

They are all the more special because they have a history.

Now we can enjoy this one all the more, because we have a connection too.
Thanks for sharing something special Buck.

Interesting pic. I was my understanding raccoons weren't introduced to Germany until the 1930s by the National Socialist Party.
Nazi raccoons. Imagine that?
It appears your ancestor snagged one along with the brace of birds. Are you sure this is a pre-immigration picture?
