Somewhere in Wisconsin circa 1950. "Mike and Mr. Rabbit." Happy Easter weekend from Shorpy! 35mm Kodachrome slide. View full size.
Going by the state of his shirtsleeves and his hands, Daddy works at a job that involves lots dirt and grease, so much that it won't come off no matter how he scrubs. (Perhaps a mechanic; a welder; a machinist.)
[Daddy is a professional who's building the cottage he's in. - Dave]
With the unpainted block walls, shuttered windows and rustic furniture, I'm guessing this was a hunting fishing cabin.
Happy Easter fellow Shorpyites.
Could this be in dad's basement man cave? Cinder block walls with no paint. Stacks of wood/ moldings about the area. Pencil sharpener attached to the door jam. Definitely not the living room.
[wet_powder nailed it. It's the living room of a vacation cabin. - Dave]
Plus he's a two-ashtray man. When smoking was king.
Does anyone else think Dad looks a little like Howdy Doody?
