I’ve had a blast figuring out when photos in Dad’s collection were taken from looking for clues, like magazine covers, where even if I can’t read a legible date, I can see enough of a cover to find it in back issue archives. This is maddening, because there’s a freakin’ calendar on the wall, but it’s illegible, and there were a billion wall calendars, so I can’t go searching. Oh well, I guess I just have to leave it at “mid-1950’s.”

I recognized the book that is open on the table almost immediately. It is the Wolf Cub Scout handbook. BUt that does not help much. That particular version came out in 1954 and was printed throughout the 50s. So still mid-50s.
