Ray Schrumm

A Vintage Photos Theme Park photo for the theme of big hair (large or unusual hairstyles).

This is an unposted real photo postcard with only the name "Ray Schrumm" written on the other side. The Azo stamp box design (with four corner triangles pointing up) printed on the back suggests a time frame that may be as early as 1904 to 1918.

Ray Schrumm's unique hairstyle reminds me of Henry Spencer, the character played by actor Jack Nance in David Lynch's film Eraserhead. The Eraserhead Wiki's entry about Henry Spencer provides a photo and explains, "Henry's most distinctive trait is his trademark haircut and his constantly forlorn face. He is almost always seen wearing a plain suit and tie."

Good lord - that really does look like my memory of the Eraserhead guy!
What a movie. I'll never forget the Cornish hens scene (if that's what they were.)
Ugh.
Great photograph - with a fittingly odd last name.
