Brothers–August 1943

This image is from another estate sale lot. In my opinion, the two young men look like brothers. I am basing this assumption on their facial features.

The photo does not contain any names. But the back is stamped with the Brown Photo Service, Minneapolis, Minnesota logo with the date August 28, 1943.

Either the young man in uniform is on leave or he has just joined the service. The date is only the processing date of the image.

I wonder if he returned home? The date corresponds with WWII.

Until next time…peace.

Happy New Year!

Happy New Year! I have more photographs to add to this blog in 2026! I am also working on transferring 8mm and 16mm films to digital.

I just want to wish everyone a blessed New Year!

Bush Lake 1957

This photo actually has some information on the back. The handwriting is faded but I believe it reads:

Big Bush Lake Fishing

Dec. 25, 1957

And, then the names Eugene, Oscar, and Dennis.

I know there’s a Bush Lake in Minnesota. And, one here in Michigan.

I cannot tell you the exact location of the photo.

What do you think?

A Lady and Her Duck

I do not have information on the photo. The image is from a batch of photos that I purchased at an estate sale. I actually have numerous pictures of her and her family.

I am placing the image around the late 1940s. The chair looks old. Perhaps, the chair is located in a garden. She was taking a rest and talking to her duck.

Vintage Christmas Photos – Day 1 – A New Bike

I am assuming this is Christmas morning. The young child just received a new bike. I wasn’t sure at first if this was a Christmas photo. But I finally spotted the Nativity Scene on top of the old television. Also, there are a lot of wrappings and boxes on the floor.

I cannot tell who is sitting on the sofa. But the person appears to still be in pajamas which is why I was thinking this is Christmas morning.

What do you see?

Merry Christmas!

Until next time…peace

Ski Time

Can you believe it’s November 1st already? Soon, the holidays will be here. And, of course, since I am in Michigan, there will be snow.

This snow photo is from an estate lot. I do not have any information. I am placing the photo in the late 1940s or early 1950s. My guess is based on his style of clothes and the wooden skis.

What do you think?

Exploring Pukapuka: Insights from a 1958 Image

I purchased this image from an estate sale. I don’t have any factual information. I did a Google search. The results suggests this is Pukapuka, formerly Danger Island in the Pacific Ocean.

The AI overview suggests this is a image from 1958.

Exploring a 1920s Wedding Photo from Bay City, MI

Here’s another photo that I am placing around the 1920s. I am assuming the couple just got married. And, they are now posing for their first photo as man and wife.

I believe this is a studio photo but I guess the location could be someone’s home.

The only identifying mark on the photo is the studio stamp. The photo was taking by Gorzycki in Bay City, Michigan. I think the other part reads: 2249 E. Grant Sts.

What do you think?

Until next time…peace
