Happy September 1st everyone! Where did our summer go?
I am still working on the slides I purchased from an auction. I really like this slide. Everyone seems to be happy. I wonder if they were traveling together. Or perhaps, one couple was traveling to meet up with the others. I just wish I had names for the people in the image.
Have a great month!
Until next time…peace
I enlarged this photo to view the license plate on the back of the truck which reads South Dakota 50 or 1950. The image does not have any identifying marks.
The older boy is sitting on a new bike. I wonder if the bicycle was a gift for a birthday.
The image is typical life at this time. I see a small flower garden to the right. There are clothes hanging on the line to the back left of the photo.
The younger boy’s pants are clearly too large, indicating second-hand clothes or hand-me-downs from his older brother.
What do you see when you look at the image?
Until next time…peace
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
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?

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.

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.

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
I honestly do not if the couple in the photograph are going on a picnic. But I love the big picnic basket the gentleman is holding. They are in dress clothes. The couple may be attending a church social or reunion.
I do not have any details of this image.
What do you think?
Until next time…peace
I just love this photo. My curious side wishes I had more information. The image was part of an estate sale which did not have any details on the photos.
I cleaned the photo up to the best of my abilities. Do you think this was a car club? Church? Revival meeting? Reunion? I have so many guesses but no answers.
Let me know what you think!
Until next time…peace
The image was part of an estate sale. Written in faded pencil, the only identifying mark on the photo is the name, “Tillie” which is on the front of the print.
I would like to believe that is her name. She is sitting perfectly in front of the window. The image is definitely a studio print. But I do not have any further information.
The lady sitting by the window is adorned with a captivating piece of jewelry, delicately hanging from her neck. Its color, like a hidden secret, remains elusive. Perhaps it was a necklace, or maybe a mysterious locket.
I also noticed a ring gracing her left hand, but its significance remains yet a mystery like the entire image. Was it a symbol of love, a token of commitment, or something else entirely? Like many of the images I view, I am left with more questions than answers.
What do you see when you view the image?
Until next time…peace
