Who Were They?

Here are Tommy & Margaret, or possibly the children of Tommy & Margaret, December 1957. The boy has a wonderful cowboy hat and embroidered cowboy shirt, complete with a ranch hand twirling a rope on the right shoulder and possibly a horse on the left. This style was a huge fashion trend for boys and girls in the 1950s, and I bet he also had the little six shooters and holsters. The little baby girl is wearing an adorable bonnet and munching on a teething ring. Old fashioned teething rings are nothing like our modern, gummy soft ones! They were hard plastic and many, like this one, featured a bell.
