The 11/21/22 Macro Mondays theme is Vintage. This old alarm clock dates back to around 1942, and it still works. Those clangers on top are loud enough to wake up the whole neighborhood.

Haworth Village comes alive when the 1940s comes to the Worth Valley. Tens of thousands of people throng the village, many in ’40s civilian and forces dress.

A Timelime Event Photoshoot at Lincolnshire Aviation Museum.
This a from my archives an taken in September 2018 and was taken at the Sheringham 1940s weekend.
I don't normally do much Street photography or portraiture as I find it a bit voyeuristic, however the 1940's weekend that is held annually in Sheringham and Holt, Norfolk, provides an opportunity to take pictures when many people are in period costume and are happy to have their photo taken.
Unfortunately I don't know who the lady in this photo is, but if it's you and would like a free copy or would like me to take it down please get in touch.
I could see a delightful garden party about to begin... that or a proud mister taking this to remember the beautiful day and lady.
Alex is a great local model. The Dali museum has a Lee Miller photo exhibit and I taught a workshop about her fashion work. I had 2 set ups with constant light but the huge, tinted windows in the community room provided a fantastic a opportunity - as the sun moved students could see how to use the natural light.

At the Severn Valley Railway, Kidderminster, Worcestershire, England, United Kingdom, on Saturday 7th June 2025.
About the photograph.
They are re-enactors dressed up in 1940s kind of clothes, and runs what appears to be a 1940s style shop.
Back in those days, shops were not really self-service, and in order to do the shopping, customers would have to tell the staff what they want.
As you can see, most of the food is found on the shelves behind them, which is why staff often have to fetch what you want, then ring up the costs.
They were chatting with visitors whom are interested in learning what shops of this era was like, and apparently someone must’ve said something funny, hence the shop girls having a laugher, and that was when I caught the monment.
I originally thought about turning it into black and white, but figured for the moment, leave it in colour so you, the viewers, could see what the 1940s packaging colours are like.
Notice the box of KitKat chocolates in the lower left corner of the photo, is in blue coloured wrapper.
That was because of milk shortages during the Second World War, so KitKat switched from milk chocolate to dark chocolate, and thus the packaging switched colours to remind customers of the switch in recipe. The red packaging returned in 1947 as they switched back to milk chocolate recipe.

At the Severn Valley Railway station, Kidderminster, Worcestershire, England, United Kingdom, on Saturday 7th June 2025.
About the photograph.
They are re-enactors playing the role of a 1940s era British police constables in a makeshift police station at the Kidderminster railway station, during the Severn Valley Railway’s Step Back to the 1940s event.
Both of them are simply of the same rank, the one on the left side with the pipe may simply be a desk officer, and not a sergeant.
Notice the police helmet on the desk, and next to it are two helmets that looked like upside down soup bowls. Those are often called the Brodie helmet and often have various nicknames, including battle bowler and tin hat. In the event of an air raid, the police officers would swap their standard police helmet for the military designed steel helmet for better protection.
Here in the photograph, they were simply standing like this while visitors enjoy their day out at the event.
The shot was done inside the station’s platform canopy, thus lighting is from outside, and was converted into black and white while in Adobe Lightroom.
