1950s Family Reunion Playing Horseshoes in the Park

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

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.

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

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.

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

Generations

This image has no identifying marks. I am calling it, “Generations”. In my opinion, the people in the photo resemble a mother, two daughters, and their children.

The mother appears to be wearing black. Perhaps, the photo was taken after her husband’s funeral. Or maybe the outfit is actually a dark blue, the photo could be after a church service or other family gathering.

What do you think?

Until next time…peace

Lady in Front of the House

I am assuming the lady is posing in front of her house. Perhaps, the house was a new purchase. I can see other houses reflecting in her windows which leads to me to believe the house was in the suburbs. Another scenario, the house may be part of military housing. The photo was in an estate lot with other military photos.

I do have a little information on this image. The back of the photo is stamped with Brown Photo Service, Minneapolis, Minnesota, Sept. 11, 1942.

What do you see?

Until next time…peace

3 Brothers?

I am guessing these three men are brothers. I do not have any information on this old photo. There is not anything written or stamped on the back.

The image contains a barn in the background. I assume they are in a farming community. I would guess the photo was taken in the mid-to-late 1940s from the style of clothing.

There is also a young boy peeking around the corner on the porch. Perhaps one of the gentlemen is his father. He just wanted to see what was going on.

Tell me what you think when you look at the photo.

Until next time…peace.

Photo of the Day: A Girl in a Hat

I only have a little information on this photo. I was given a bag of photos from a friend to copy, and this image was among them.

Written on the back of the photo in pencil, reads a name, “Rena”.

I am curious to know the type of hat the young girl is wearing. Does anyone know?

Photo of the Day: Two Ladies in a Garden

I do have a little information on this photo. The back of the photo is stamped with the following:

Brown Photo Service

Minneapolis, Minn.

June 22, 1942

The two women are posing with flowers. I think the flowers are peonies. I wish I knew their names.

I guess, the women could be sisters. Or perhaps, mother and daughter. What do you think?

What do you see when ou look at the photo?

Until next time…peace

Photo of the Day: Chapel at Camp

The only information I have on this photo is the handwriting on the back which reads, “Chapel at Camp.” I wish the person would have added more information.

The photo does give evidence of a warmer climate. The two large cacti located on each side of the doorway support my theory.

What do see when you look at this photo?

Until next time…peace
