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?

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?

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?

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
