Carole & Co. Posted by carole_and_co on Oct 8, 2015
What a lovely pose of Carole Lombard -- from the early 1930s, if what she's wearing is indicative -- but here's how the person selling the item describes it, directly from the ad:I hope the seller, who apparently is from Denmark, doesn't think I'm trying to slight him; far from the case. It's a Lomb read more

This is a day that invariably brings joy to my life...the anniversary of Carole Lombard's birth.
