April 1961

The writing on the back of the photo is not about the couple but the photographer.

It reads: “Mr. Hogan took this – he is minus one eye and one arm – yet drove to New York and looks good.”

Now, I just need to know about the couple.

Until next time…peace

Mother’s Ivy Plant – 1952

On the back of this photo, a little information is written out in faded ink: “Mother’s Ivy Plant” and “1952”. When I first saw this image, I thought the title should be “Stay out of my kitchen”.

I love the old-style kitchen. The glass bottles bring back childhood memories. We had Neigh-Hi but I do not know if we ever had Hub City.

When you look at this photo, what do you see?

A Family

Like many of the photos I purchase, there are no identifying marks. I assume the image is from a family gathering, but personally, I cannot tell if the family photo depicts a group of siblings or a mother and father with their children.

3 Brothers

I admit, I do not know if these children were actually brothers. But it reminds me of the photos my aunts would take on holidays. They would gather each group of siblings for photos.

Unfortunately, the image did not have any identifying marks. I am guessing, the photo was taken in the early 1950s.

I absolutely love the artwork in the background. The image is of a young girl holding puppies. I need to see if I can find a print.

July 1942

Yes, I am fully aware that the photo is blurry. But I love the fact that it is dated and the couple is named. Someone wrote on the back of the print, “July 1942,” with the names “Carl & Mayme Schmidt.” I may have her name spelled wrong; the writing is faded.

I cannot tell if the couple is in front of their home or maybe in front of a store. The gentleman could be holding his lunch or a recent purchase.

What do you think?

Until next time…peace
