That’s definitely not a lychee. Most likely a strawberry.

Hmmm ... maybe you're right.
On the one hand, the outside isn't the bright red of a strawberry, and looks to me more like to reddish brown of a lychee. But on the other hand, that could be down to the colour limitations of the photographic film. Also, strawberries would be much more likely to show up in a New York fruit shop in the 1940s than a lychee.
