Can’t say I ever tried this.

Photo has waving due to too much glue being used to attach the information sheet onto the back of the photo. If the listing shows thin red and/or green lines, they are the result of a bad scan & the lines are NOT on the actual photo. Photo measures 7 x 9 inches and is dated 10/7/1944.”
