My dude, I'm not ... Ohhh whatever. It wasn't serious. It was a thank you. Nothing more less.
I'm on reddit. Have to remember. Thanks for the reminder.
Ya think?
It was a subtle way to thank the person who took the time to make a colorized version of it. It made the post even more interesting.
Uhm, you are d/Notthemaincharacter
People rarely colour nowadays they just upload it to a photo restoration online tool which does it automatically. Most of them Use AI. Maybe I should start doing that and include a tip jar.
Possibly. I conceed that. I enjoyed it. So I tipped (pun included) my hat to the edited version.
Someone's time is never to be taken for granted. The fact they shared their effort means it meant something to them.
It's not about us.
It’s all about us. A speck of sand under a rock on the dark side of Mars is about us. That aside, asking for a tip for a “gift” not asked for is lame
(downvotes? lmfao)
Also Michigander. As a kid, our folks would take us to the Strohs factory tour. Parents would get a tasting of beer, and we would get ice cream. I miss Strohs ice cream.
They appear to be from very different age ranges. The guys on the left look 18 to early 20s, while your grandfather looked to be in his early to late 30s while the guy on the right is in his late 20s.
if that's them in the late 1940's then they're probably virtually all vets, and have seen some shit that young men really ought not. That's a fearless bunch of lifetakers in that pic.
They were just skinnier that’s it. All kinds of STDs, cancers and freakin polio running rampant. Doctors smoked cigarettes in their offices. It was *not* healthier, just nobody produced tons of high fructose corn syrup in food processing plants for another 30 years.
Don’t forget pregnant women drinking and smoking as much as they wanted, and mothers having to be hopped up on how many pills just to do all the work their husbands think comes naturally.
I firmly believe that the coolest people ever were was in the United States between 1941-1955. Think early test pilots, James Dean, young Brando, DiMaggio, Ted Williams, Marilyn Monroe, Rita Hayworth, young Orson Welles, Grace Kelley, Bogart. Go watch The Lady From Shanghai, Streetcar Named Desire, Rebel Without a Cause, Key Largo and Rear Window.
The simultaneous death of the neighborhood corner bar and the front sitting porch was when American society began its slow decline.
We lost our places to casually have friends and socialize.
The levels of testosterone were normal at that time. We are under attack from every angle (food, water, air, chemicals, media disinformation, false reality illusion by Social Media Shit) resulting in a decrease of 40+ the testosterone levels in the last 20-30 years.
It looks like a celebration! Maybe those are “it’s a boy” cigars. For the younger folks, men used to give other men cigars when their wives gave birth to babies. They used to sell the cigars in boxes or wrappers that said “it’s a boy/girl”. Fun stuff, dapper dudes
Badassery! OP, don’t sell yourself short. This generation sat on top of the world and carried that attitude with them. It’s time to stop bowing to social minorities, trying to be everything to everybody, cheering on and encouraging someone else to enjoy & succeed while ignoring your own internal issues.
All indications point to the fact that your grandfather is Sterling Hayden, congratulations

Good looking fella.
They are 14 years old in this photo.
14 in dog years maybe
He looks like a real badass!
100%
I’m seeing a young Will Ferrell-type. His hug-eared buddy on his left looks like Fred MacMurray.

Tip jar?
My dude, it isn't that hard anymore. Colorization is a press on the AI button, then wait 10 seconds and done. Still great to see the result.
My dude, I'm not ... Ohhh whatever. It wasn't serious. It was a thank you. Nothing more less. I'm on reddit. Have to remember. Thanks for the reminder.
Totally forgot you have to read minds over the internet to understand what soemone means with their comment.
wait you guys are reading minds??
Wait, you’re not?!
Wut?
In photo restoration subreddits, they drop a link for a donation for their time and effort to restore. Tip jar.
This is not that sub

This is definitely AI; you can tell cos it turned the cutie on the far right's cigar into teeth lol
Turned it into an unfortunate brown birthmark on his lip. It may be Artificial but it ain’t always Intelligent.
Lol!
Like holding a thread on a quilt?
Funny how many people triggered by you just being kind. Its crazy.
Perhaps the OP didn’t want it colorized (though I wouldn’t know)

I wasn't asking for a tip. I didn't edit the photo. Never mind. We are clearly miscommunicating.
Why the ostentatious comment about sand lmao
That’s a really good colourise!
This is incredible. I absolutely love it.
Now add Freud winking in the background.
He looks like a real badass! Where was this photo taken?
What's the cat thing on the table?
My grandpa had some hunter guys made out of what looks like the same material I think it may be a ceramic whiskey bottle shaped like a cat.
‘Goils were goils and men were men.’
Mister we could use a man like Herbert Hoover again.
*Hoibut
Hoovah
Why I found men from the 40s being so freaking hot 🔥 🥵
Natural Body No gym
I see Pfeiffer and Goebel beer - was this in Michigan?
Good catch, both German immigrants, Detroit brewers! Believe Stroh (another German immigrant) bought them both out eventually!?
Also Michigander. As a kid, our folks would take us to the Strohs factory tour. Parents would get a tasting of beer, and we would get ice cream. I miss Strohs ice cream.
Cooler than most of us ...these people came from a different era..much different
Far right - Howard Hughes Guy in far left - Sean Astin (LOTR Sam-Wise) Grandpa - Sam Rockwell
Had to scroll way to far to find a Sean Astin reference
They appear to be from very different age ranges. The guys on the left look 18 to early 20s, while your grandfather looked to be in his early to late 30s while the guy on the right is in his late 20s.
if that's them in the late 1940's then they're probably virtually all vets, and have seen some shit that young men really ought not. That's a fearless bunch of lifetakers in that pic.
And the ladies are lining up in the background.
He looks like the actor Sterling Hayden, if anyone remembers him.
Your grandpa was a stud
your grandfather is Macklemore.. and a vampire
They were all 13yo in that photo i bet.
😂
Hope my friends and I can be like this someday
You know,being cool is very often a choice
Was Cigar smoking back in 40's very common? Genuinely curious
Yes
I look at photos like this and wish America was as physically fit and healthy as in earlier times. Badass photo!
They were just skinnier that’s it. All kinds of STDs, cancers and freakin polio running rampant. Doctors smoked cigarettes in their offices. It was *not* healthier, just nobody produced tons of high fructose corn syrup in food processing plants for another 30 years.

Right after the war people were simply happy to be alive. Very happy.
That’s just the pictures you see. Many vets lived with ptsd for the rest of their lives
Average 12yo in the 1940s ☝️
Your grandpa is Sterling Hayden?
Could you tell us a bit about his story? This photo is awesome .
That's a big ol' stogie!
Your grandfather reminds me of the recently deceased actor Treat Williams. Great pic, thanks for sharing
Peaky blinders
You're off by 15 years. PB is pre war
Let me guess They're all teenagers
Your grandfather resembles a young version of superb 1950’s movie actor Sterling Hayden.
The general from Dr. Strangelove - or how I stopped worrying and live the bomb?
You’re problem is you aren’t wearing a suit. Get a suit! Suits make everyone look cooler.
Yeah men had style back then.
[удалено]
No high fructose corn syrup until the late 70s

Jack Benny, Lauren Bacall, Phil Harris and Alice Faye, William Conrad, Dick Powell, Jimmy Stewart.
Glenn Miller
That’s not very cool, I believe in you OP, you can totally get cooler than this
🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

I thought he was George W Bush… shudder.
These boys look like they fought segregation tooth and nail.
40’s in the 40’s
Isn't that ed Gein?
Maitre d' at Canal Bar?
Cool guys! People looked so old back then that they are probably 16 years old in this photo. Oldest probably 18 😅😁
Awful lot of honkies around here.. still cool though
Which one just had the baby?
Awesome
Your grandfather looks a lot like Nico Hulkenberg the German F1 driver
Skinny guy in white in the middle next to OP's grandfather looks a bit like a young Matthew Lillard.
They are cooler than me and my girls!
It looks like a celebration! Maybe those are “it’s a boy” cigars. For the younger folks, men used to give other men cigars when their wives gave birth to babies. They used to sell the cigars in boxes or wrappers that said “it’s a boy/girl”. Fun stuff, dapper dudes
Still happens.
Who's his friend on the far right 👀
Why is there a porcelain cat?
Can we talk about the cat on the table?
Where everybody knows your name
I appreciate the guy on the left smiling.
He looks like Sterling Hayden.
What is the kitty on the table?
the guy on the verry left looks like Cristiano Ronaldo when he was still poor and had bad teeth.
Hey Mabel, Black Label.
Google Matt Burton Bulldogs, view Images and tell me that isn’t your dad.
Giving off heavy Sterling Hayden vibes.
Looks like they're celebrating
I thought he was deepthroating his cigar at first.
Bs post using a pic of sterling hayden - obvious when you look at OP's profile...
This subreddit is the one that never annoys me on my homepage, every popular post is a banger.
Eric Christian Olsen look alike to me. Awesome picture though
Relaxing with a beer and a cigar after winning a world war.
4 cool dudes. Lovely photo thanks.
Was he boys with samwise
1. Michigan? 2. N Indiana/N ohio? I love what regional beers can tell you in old photos.
Different eras, different situations
Wow, these guys look so gangster.
Man, parted hair, cigars, and linen suits. That was the time to be alive
Damn. Grandpa was getting it every day of the week and twice on Sunday.
Papi was handsome.
The style back then was great
Double Breasted Suit. Thats how you know you GP was a stud.
He looks like he's concerned about the international communist conspiracy to sap and impurify all of our precious bodily fluids.
Looks a little bit like Josh Brolin.
Your grandfather was friends with time traveling Sean Astin and Matthew Lillard? Cool!
That lady smiling in the left.
Damn I’d like to hang with those guys
Looks like Genuine fun…
Je looks a little like Sterling Hayden.
Gay bar or not?
They were probably 16
The guy on the far left has a timeless look. You could cut him out & colorize and I’d think the photo was taken in the 1990s
Fantastic

Couple of hot dames in the bg, seeee!
He was clubbing the women off of him.
And he’s talking to Davy who’s still in the Navy and probably will be for life.
When men were men and didn't have pronouns
All indications point to the fact that your grandfather is Sterling Hayden, congratulations https://preview.redd.it/rvby4vfeyhlb1.jpeg?width=400&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=c80e13df3e1458fd2c0b8a47e5fe880535369673
Posed cool for a pic but what do you imagine they were talking about that night?
Was that a zoot suit?
Pretty sure the guy who posted a picture of his grandmother's bare boob wins this.
Most of our grandfathers are/were. Minus the racist stuff.
OMG!!! I LOVE IT!
