In the 20th century, U.S. servicemen stationed overseas sent their sweethearts compact cases from other countries. #collectorsweekly #vintageaccessories #vintagecompacts https://www.instagram.com/p/Bs9FCRzgcqP/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=hot6653n6fij

This couple held a commitment ceremony in 1957. The roll of film recording the event was taken to a local drug store for developing. The store owner decided the photos were inappropriate and didn’t release the print to the owners.

The photos were found sixty years later and attempts have been made to locate the couple.

This story is sad because the couple was denied seeing such personal and romantic photos. But it’s hopeful too by the fact that although gay people were persecuted in that era, the men were brave enough to challenge the system and make a commitment to each other.

Hopefully they were together a long time and were able to see the strides made for Gay Rights.

To see more of their commitment ceremony photos, go to @collectorsweekly tumblr page.
