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.

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!

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.

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.

Celebration

The young girl on the right is proudly holding a doll. The dress of the doll looks handmade. I am wondering if this was a birthday gift or other celebration. All the children are dressed well which gives me the impression the day was a special occasion.

I am guessing the photo was taken in the late 1930s or early 1940s.

Birthday Smiles

I am guessing, that the photo was taken on the little girl’s birthday. She has such a big smile.

I don’t have any information on the photo. From the clothing and photo style, I am guessing 1940s.

School Photo circa 1930s

This photo was part of an estate sale. Based on the style of clothing and the type of photos, I am guessing around 1930s.

To me, the image looks like a school photo. I would actually go so far to say, a private school. The children all seem to be the same age–preschool or kindergarten.

What do you think?

Until next time…peace
