This photo was before John Aniston started playing Victor in 1985 but after he made a brief appearance on Days Of Our Lives playing Dr. Eric Richards in 1969. Here is a photo that also includes her mom Nancy Dow:

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.

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.

The image is an early example of a technique called Autochrome, pioneered by the Lumière brothers which allows us to see the early 1900s in colour.

OP apparently isn't aware that the spam filter in this sub deletes comments when it sees the h t t p of an external link in the comment. You can see the deleted comment with link in their profile. However, I would not recommend going to the link. I glanced at the contents and immediately saw one error. A caption for one photo says:

Reply to Unknown cowboy, c.1900 by Star_Ship_55
The Smithsonian has this and says it is a real photo postcard.
Unfortunately there isn't any identifying information there. However, the entry at Wikipedia for real photo postcards indicates that Federal legislation didn't permit messages on the back of a postcard until 1907. Also, a Smithsonian article on postcards says this about the legislation:
>These changes to the backs of postcards ushered in the Divided Back Period, which spans from 1907 until 1915. The Divided Back Period is also known as the “Golden Age of Postcards,” due to the vast popularity of postcards during this time period.
This postcard has a message area on the back so I think the date is probably closer to 1910 than 1900.
From a Smithsonian Magazine article on black cowboys:
>The cattle drives ended by the turn of the century. Railroads became a more prominent mode of transportation in the West, barbed wire was invented, and Native Americans were relegated to reservations, all of which decreased the need for cowboys on ranches. This left many cowboys, particularly African-Americans who could not easily purchase land, in a time of rough transition.
Given the date of the photo the man might not have been a real cowboy but instead a man in a cowboy costume. For reference here is a post of a known black cowboy.

The photo appeared in the September 1971 issue of Ebony magazine with the following caption:
>During break in rehearsals for television special, Going Back To Indiana, four of five Jackson Brothers (l. to r.) Tito, 18; Jermaine, 16; Marlon, 12, and Michael, 13, tour ABC-TV studios in Hollywood. Special will be aired this month 10 days after cartoon show debut.
I find it interesting that the caption didn't mention The Brady Bunch actors.
Here is the full page from the magazine:

If this photo was taken in the US then Steve McQueen helped make it possible. In 1963 Kim Kimball began importing Montesas to the States with the help of Steve McQueen.

The photo was taken in 1968 by Lawrence Schiller. They were in Durango, Mexico filming Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid. That is director George Roy Hill with his back to the camera.
So Paul was 43 and Robert was 32.

Ted never drove the car and sold it to someone in Detroit in 1985 and as far as I know its current condition and location are unknown.

It is a Ted Williams Special, a custom-bodied Nash-Healey built expressly for him. It started as a 1951 Nash-Healey roadster and was commissioned by S.C. Johnson & Son of Racine, Wisconsin, the makers of Johnson's Wax, and designed by Bill Flajole, who earned fame for designing the Nash Metropolitan among other cars.
Sports Illustrated has the photo in a series of 'rare' photos of Ted and says the AP photo was taken in 1955.

Reply to Dawn Wells, known for her role as Mary Ann Summers on the sitcom Gilligan's Island in 1960s by eaglemaxie
Might not be from the 60s. She was born in 38 and she looks younger than 22, but she was 25 when Gilligan's Island first aired before her birthday in 64 and I would have guessed she was a bit younger than that so maybe she just looks young for her age.
Edit: She definitely looks a little older than she did in the 1956 Reno High School yearbook.

In my experience the flood of posts usually don't start until after the death so even though it still feels like karma farming this flood of Jimmy Carter posts feels a little less so.

Reply to comment by jeeper46 in Muhammad Ali inserting a 45 into the Philips record player on his 1959 Eldorado by eaglemaxie
Yup. That is a Norelco “Auto Mignon".
The Philips Mignon (branded Norelco in the US) was surprisingly long-lived, produced from 1958 through 1970. It didn’t need specially-made records; 45 rpm records were simply slid into a slot in the front, a futuristic development 40 years ahead of in-dash CD players. However, the unit held only one record at a time. You needed to jockey a lot of singles to provide continuous music on any drive longer than around the block. The Beatles reportedly each had one in their cars, and George Harrison was also photographed using one in his Jaguar E-type.
Can't find the exact price but the best I can tell is that it cost about $500 in today's dollars.
The turntable was spring mounted and there was increased downward stylus pressure to prevent skipping and according to Consumer Reports, when the magazine tested the Auto Mignon and other similar players in the early 1960s, the Auto Mignon did not skip even in adverse road conditions. However, concerns were raised regarding premature record wear due to the extra pressure on the stylus.
I can't link to it directly because the spam filter in this sub deletes comments with external links, but the following incomplete link, which can be copied and pasted to your browser, goes to a video that shows one playing a record while being shaken:
