Three of a Kind

A Vintage Photos Theme Park photo for the theme of number(s) in a photo.

Printed on the other side of this real photo postcard: "The Automatic Vaudeville Co., 9 Tremont Row, 634 Washington St., Boston, Mass."

The "23" on the one fellow's hat is a reference to the "23 skidoo" fad that became popular in the United States beginning in 1906 or 1907. Back then, telling someone "23 skidoo" meant "scram" or "beat it," and using "23" in an unexpected place like this was a way to let others in on the joke.

For another example of "23" used in a photo for humorous effect, see Too Many Places to Go and Too Much to See.
