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
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
Like most of my photos, I do not have any information. From the style of her dress and shoes, I am placing this photo in the early 1940s. She appears to be posing by a flower bush. I wonder if her dress is for a special occasion?
Of course, I am only guessing.

Until next time…peace
This is another image from an estate sale. I was lucky with this photo. There’s a little information on the print.
If I am reading it correctly, it says. “Belden Burr Smith” with the year 1947.
I just love photo because he looks so happy to have a little tent.
What do you think?

I purchased this photos from an auction sale. There’s no identifying marks on the back of the photo. The image is an antique cabinet card photograph by Frank J. Gorzycki. According to Google, he operated a photography studio in Detroit, Michigan.
The family is dressed in formal attire which was fashionable in the 1920s.

I bought this image as part of an auction sale. I love the fact this image has information written on the back. The downside…it’s hard to read.
The photo was taken in 1951 at a Farm Bureau Picnic. The gentlemen in the photo are: Walter Brewsinger (?), Frank Forshee, Art Kuhl, _____ Horning, Rha Arnold, & Don Johnson.
Of course, after starring at this photo, I wonder the flavor of pie.
What do you think?
Until next time…peace
Happy World Turtle Day, everyone!
I love watching and photographing turtles. (Of course, I love watching all wildlife).
We are currently having a cold, rainy day here in Mid-Michigan. So I guess, I won’t be photographing any turtles today.
Have a great day! Stay safe this holiday weekend!
Until next time…peace
I believe this is a mom and new baby. I think, the baby is a boy. But I am not 100% certain. It’s hard to tell sometimes in older photos.
I have a lot of photos of this family. I believe the timeframe is the 1940s.
What do you think?
Once again…Happy Mother’s Day to all the wonderful moms out there.
Until next time…peace
The lady is all smiles as she models her outfit. I wonder if she is going to a festival? Or if she is dressed up for a wedding or other special event.
Even though, I do not have any identifying information, I’m placing this image in the 1940s.
What do you think?
Until next time…peace
Like many of my photos that I purchase, I do not have any identifying marks or information on this image. I wonder if the lady is the little girl’s grandmother or great grandmother.
I looks to be a beautiful sunny day. They both are smiling for the camera.
Based on the clothing and style of print, I am placing the photo in the 1940s.
What do you think?
Until next time…peace
