Regular Keepa readers understand that some assumptions and speculations have no place here.

I would write a long treatise condemning your actions, but I am late to an ear piercing appointment. ;-)

It worked until you pointed it out to me.

Fun bit of historical detective work!

Note that J.H. Smith’s buttons also match the current convention, which might help argue that the convention was the same then as it is now. And Sarah has her wedding ring on the left hand, which seems to indicate that that photo isn’t flipped.

Both of these men have earrings in their left ears; I wonder if it was one side only?

The good news is, it looks like Sarah doesn’t have multiple piercings. :)
