This is a photo of my husband's grandmother, uncle, and father. It's a picture postcard and a no-brainer as far as the date and location! Even though it doesn't look like they were having fun (why don't folks in old photos ever smile?) I'm sure they did have fun. My father-in-law (right) would have been about 9 years old and his brother 6 years old. Does anyone know what pier is in the background?

beautiful!!!
Great photo!
Getting your picture taken was serious business, that's why they didn't smile.
The pier may be this one ( it was damaged by a runaway barge in 1926 & rebuilt in 1927);

Thank you Sean68, and thanks, walksoftly, for the information and link. I believe you're right about the pier!
Love these souvenir RPPCs!

They look like they maybe watching a TV!!
Very similar to a photo I saw on this site a year or two ago, hope someone can do some good investigating !~
I don't have anything like this in my collection--so for me, it is pretty unusual.
I really like it.
Love the beanies! Reminds me of The Little Rascals,!
Merry Christmas to you and Your Family!! All the Best in 2017 !
No beach here -- but FINALLY SNOWED !!
