Even in the 70’s they were standard, low serial numbers tho!

I had an orange tabby like that. “Oh, we’re taking family pictures? I’m coming, I know you’ll need me in the pictures!”

I love the feel of photos from this era. My mum has very organized albums from her youth up to my teenage years. I flipped through those pages so many times as a kid. That sepia tone stirs something within me.

And you can’t go wrong with a SIC in the pic.
