My grandfather was a WWII vet. When he passed away (in 1993) we found among his belongings some things he’d kept from his time in the service. Among those was some foreign currency, mostly coins, but also two pieces of paper money.

This is the second one. Granted, it’s not in nearly as good condition as the first.

List of my '30 Photos' series

This tumblr doesn't have a theme other than it's a place for me to post whatever strikes my fancy.

For example:

The Avengers:
(and all its stars)

Henry Cavill:

Max Brown:

Supernatural:

Haven:

Hawaii Five-0:

In addition, I'll also post pictures other pretty men, art/paintings that I like, things that are purple (my favorite color), song lyrics, poems, the cover art to books I've bought or are currently reading, videos and many, many other things.

NOTE: Just a little warning...my posting habits have become pretty erratic lately. Some days I post maybe once or twice, other days I go wild and post a bunch of stuff at one time, be it screencaps, art, vintage images, Red Sox pics or just random stuff. You know, whatever I'm in the mood to post. Just thought I'd put that out there for any potential new followers. ;)

A bit about me: I'm in my 30's, I'm American, and I like reading, sleeping, the Boston Red Sox, Supernatural, Haven, Hawaii Five-0, and The Walking Dead.

Anything else that you'd like to know, just ask. :D Ask me anything!

My other Tumblr: Unofficial Max Brown

I'm also a contributor at Glorious, glorious Regency and Elisabeth Musical.
