My mother kept that stare her entire life. Sometimes words were not necessary.

Seems suspicious

Yeah. The sign is period correct. Here is a porcelain sign from an auction that was marked “Made in Canada 1946 P.&M.”
However, the one in the photo looks far from brand new.
Great photo if it is authentic.

My mother was born in 1936, so I am not sure how old she is in the picture but I am guessing less than 10 years old.

I was thinking skeptical.

I want to believe the posted image is authentic but you just made it harder. The owner of the islandosprey account doxxed themselves in a comment in 2016 and the obit of that person's mother is online and says that she was born in 1930.

That's funny. I only wanted to share a picture I had that was precious to our family. Never thought it would be controversial. I will also share other pictures off the same roll in the same time period, so keep an eye out.

That is a great photograph. Truly, that is almost an iconic piece of Americana.
