On the Back Porch

Posted on by Rebecca C.

I do not have any identifying marks on this photo. The three ladies look like they are taking a break. I base this on the young boy who is eating some bread or roll.

Perhaps, two of the women were out doing chores or collecting eggs. In the background, there appears to be a barn. There is also a pair of work gloves on the top step.

The third lady appears to be a visitor. But she resembles the other ladies. I am thinking they are all related.

Based on the clothing and style of the image, I am placing this photo in the 1940s.

A Day at the Beach

Posted on by Rebecca C.

This image is from an estate lot. I believe, they are a family on vacation. I wonder if they are staying in one of the cabins behind them. Or if the beach is actually in front of them passed the persona taking the photo.

I place the photo in the 1930s. I am basing this guess on the vehicles in the background. If anyone knows the exact make and model I would love to narrow down the date.

Family from the Mid-1940s

Posted on by Rebecca C.

I am still sifting through the photos from an estate lot. This family is in a lot of the photos.

Unfortunately, there are no identifying marks on the images. From the hair styles and clothing, I am placing the photos in the mid-1940s range.

I wish I knew more about the people in the images. I am assuming they are all from one extended family group.

WWII Nurse

Posted on by Rebecca C.

I did a little research on this photo. According to google, the lady’s uniform is either Army Nurse Corp (ANC) or Women’s Army Corp (WAC). The uniform is from the WWII era or early 1940s. If anyone could verify this, I would appreciate it.

She is standing on the dock of a ship. Boat Dock Fire Sta. No. 2 is clearly visible in the background. Most likely the ship was a troop transport or a hospital ship.

Family Posing

Posted on by Rebecca C.

I think this image is an extended family posing after a dinner or church. I don’t have any further information on the picture.

From the clothing and type of photo, I am placing the time around the mid-1930s.

Brothers–August 1943

Posted on by Rebecca C.

This image is from another estate sale lot. In my opinion, the two young men look like brothers. I am basing this assumption on their facial features.

The photo does not contain any names. But the back is stamped with the Brown Photo Service, Minneapolis, Minnesota logo with the date August 28, 1943.

Either the young man in uniform is on leave or he has just joined the service. The date is only the processing date of the image.

I wonder if he returned home? The date corresponds with WWII.

Until next time…peace.

Happy New Year! I have more photographs to add to this blog in 2026! I am also working on transferring 8mm and 16mm films to digital.

Bush Lake 1957

Posted on by Rebecca C.

This photo actually has some information on the back. The handwriting is faded but I believe it reads:

Big Bush Lake Fishing

Dec. 25, 1957

And, then the names Eugene, Oscar, and Dennis.

I know there’s a Bush Lake in Minnesota. And, one here in Michigan.

I cannot tell you the exact location of the photo.

A Lady and Her Duck

Posted on by Rebecca C.

I do not have information on the photo. The image is from a batch of photos that I purchased at an estate sale. I actually have numerous pictures of her and her family.

I am placing the image around the late 1940s. The chair looks old. Perhaps, the chair is located in a garden. She was taking a rest and talking to her duck.

What do you think?

Until next time…peace
