As a farmer’s daughter, I cannot imagine working the fields with horses and hand tools. But I know that was the reality of farm work before tractors and other equipment were invented.
The photo shows two men clearing weeds or harvesting plants. I am not sure what they are holding. There is another gentleman in the background. He seems to be leading the team of horses.
I do not have any data on the photo.
What do you think?
Until next time…peace
The image was part of an estate lot. Unfortunately, the auction seller did not have any information on the photos.
In the photo, this young man is extremely proud of his plane. I am guessing, he built the plane as part of a project, maybe for Scouts. I am putting this photo around the late 40s or early 50s.
What do you think?

I purchased a large box of 8×10 photos. All the images are beautiful wedding photos. This image is tucked inside a larger folder. The bottom of the top matte reads Agdanowski Studio, Bay City. Unfortunately, there’s no year on the photo. Based on the style of clothing, I would guess early 1920s.
I love the bride’s dress. I wish I could see the color of the flowers. Everyone looks so proper and fine for the wedding day. I think the bridesmaid resembles the bride. I wonder if they are sisters.

This photo was part of an estate sale purchase. My favorite part of the photo is the information on the back. The photo had a location, Benjestown Road, Tennessee, and a date, 1945. I generally do not get any information on the back of a photo.
From the girl’s clothing, I am guessing, this is her first time on a horse.

Happy Friday, everyone! Here are a few photos from a recent estate lot purchase. I do not have any names or dates with these photographs.
I personally find these pictures amusing. The photographs are definitely taken in New York City at Rockefeller Center.
I just returned from a New York trip. I was one of those crazy people who stood out in the rain to watch the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade. I recognize every place these photos were taken.
The gorgeous Christmas tree at Rockefeller Center. I wonder what color those bulbs were?
The Rink at Rockefeller Center. It always looks bigger in the photos. But I still enjoyed watching the people when I was there.
The beautiful St. Patrick’s Cathedral.
I am guessing these photos are from the late 1950s or early 60s. What do you think?
Have you been to NYC?
Until next time…peace
Like many of the other photos, I purchased from auctions or other sites, I do not have any concrete information about the little girl in the photo. I just guess.
But, I believe, there is something truly magical about showing off two brand-new baby dolls on Christmas morning! I would place this photo in the early 1950s range. I just love the little girl and her new toys.
I love the large caterpillar in the background on the table. I need to research it. I am very curious about the worm-like toy. Unless she had siblings, there were other toys. I spotted a baking/kitchen set on the floor. I think there is a stuffed dog down by her feet. But I guess the dog could be real. What do you think?
What do you see when you look at the old photo?
Until next time…peace
Well, I assume the dog belongs to the lady. I really do not know. But, I like to think they were posing together on Christmas Day.
Based on the photo type and her clothing style, I am guessing this photo is from the early 1950s.
I believe, my grandfather had a desk like the one the Christmas tree is on. So, I am also using that as a basis for the date.
What do you see when you look at the photo?
Until next time…peace
Here is another small group of slides from an estate sale. The photographer was definitely a history buff. I am posting 3 slides today of Mount Vernon. The photos are from George Washington’s Mount Vernon.
The estate is located at 5513 Mount Vernon Memorial Hwy, Alexandria, VA 22309, and is still open for tours today. Another location I need to add to my growing bucket list.
The estate has tours, a museum, and George Washington’s Distillery® and Gristmill which is located 2.7 miles from the main entrance. I do not know if the original Gristmill in the above photo is part of the distillery. I need to research further.
Has anyone ever been here?
Let me know.
Until next time…peace
The spooky season is officially here. I love October. The cooler weather and changing leaves are perfect for photography.
I was out photographing spiderwebs in the fog. Yes, I know, I’m a little odd. I found the spiderwebs beautiful.
I took this photo down at the wildlife area. To me, the dew-covered spiderwebs look like Mother Nature is decorating for Halloween early.
I hope everyone has a fantastic month.
Until next time…peace.
This image was from an estate lot. In my opinion, they are playing horseshoes. I imagine this is a family gathering or perhaps a reunion in a park.
I am guessing the image is from the early 1950s. I base this on the type of image and the style of clothing.
The person sitting on the log is either watching the game closely or bored.
What do you think?
Until next time…peace
