Jane-1925

The image is from an estate sale. But there is actually some information on the back of the original photo.

The handwriting reads: “Jane, aged 1 years”. Then it continues with “At Mrs. Roger’s where we lived on Canal St.”

There is also a printers mark with the following information: “Nov. 15. 1925.”

Unfortunately, there are no last names or further location details. But she seems to be enjoying herself. There is a small toy car next to her.

Until next time…peace.

Stevie

This is originally a black and white photograph. I would place the date in the early 1950s. There’s no date on the image. I added some color. (Mostly because I wanted to see the hat).

The back of the original print reads: I love this! Stevie in Auntie Jane’s clothes. It’s definitely a very cute photo.

What do you think?

Until next time…peace

Ruth Jane–1929

The image is from an estate sale. I do have a little information on the photo. Even though, you cannot see her face.

The back of the photo reads: Ruth Jane, 4 months old. There’s also a printer’s mark that reads: May 12, 1929.

If you look closely at the image, there’s someone holding her up or in place.

What do you think?

Until next time…peace

June 1958

Originally this photo was back and white with numerous scratches and tears. I cleaned the print up to the best of my abilities.

The original image is stamped with the date of June 1958. There is also a little information on the print. Unfortunately, no names are given. But the photo reads “in part at St. Mary’s, Ohio. Dressed for dinner.”

I wonder if they were attending a specific event like a birthday party or reunion.

What do you think?

Until next time…peace

Carl & Mayme–1915

Here’s another image from an auction sale. The original photograph has a small tear and other damage. But I did clean it up to the best of my abilities. I also added a little color to the image.

The photo has information on the back. In the upper right corner is the date: 1915. There is also two names on the back. If I am reading the writing correctly, it says– Carl Schmidt and Mayme Cronin.

When the photo is enlarged on my computer, the details of the background come into view. I believe the couple are walking around a farm.

What do you think?

Until next time…peace

Brother and Sister?

This is another photo from an auction sale. I don’t have any information on the image. To me the two young people in the photo look like siblings. But I am only guessing.

Focusing on boy’s attire especially the tweed jacket and the girl’s wire rimmed glasses, I am placing this image in the late 1930s.

What do you think?

Until next time…peace

Young Couple-1923

I know there’s still a couple spots on this image. But the original photograph was damaged. I didn’t want to lose all of the details. Anyway, I purchased this image as part of an auction lot.

Unfortunately, the only information on the photo is the year-1923. I wonder if the young couple are standing in front of their new home. Or perhaps, they just got engaged.

What do you think?

Until next time…peace

Shoberg Family

I picked this photo up at an auction sale. Unfortunately, the image does not contain a date. But I would place the image in the late 1930s or early 1940s. I am basing this guess on the clothing, hair style, and the type of photo.

The photo does have details on the back:

Henry & Emma Shoberg, Mathilda Shoberg Sarver Killeen, & Ellen V. Shoberg Dahlin.

I am assuming this is a family gathering. There are others swimming in the river. Perhaps, the photo was taking at a family reunion or just a day out.

What do you think?

Until next time…peace
