This photo is from an estate lot. I do not have any information. In my opinion, the ladies look like they are at a wedding reception.
From the style of clothing and type of photo, I am estimating that the image is from the early 1960s.
What do you think?
Until next time…peace
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! 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!

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?

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.
What do you think?
Until next time…peace
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
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?
Until next time…peace
I bought these photos from an estate sale. The images seem to be focused on the Dablin family. The photo is a family gathering for a birthday.
The date on the back of the image is June 5, 1949.
The following names are also printed on the back:
L to R: Edgar B. Donaldson, Almond M. Jackson, Carl A. Burnham, Forest H. Bermp, John A. Dablin, John B. Coyle, John K. Dablin (his birthday), Marion L. Donaldson, Jessie J. Mann, Elizabeth J. Dablin, Ruth M. Coyle with John B. Coyle, Jr., and Ellen V. Dablin
Take at 4 Bishop Ave., Warcester
I copied the words down as best as I could read them.
What do you think? I think they are having fun.
Until next time…peace
I am assuming this young lady was photographed for communion. I am placing the photo around the 1920s.
The photo does not have any identifying marks. The only clue is the name of the studio: Frank Harper Studio at 7719 Harper Ave.
Many of the other photos from this lot were from the Detroit area. There is a Harper Ave in Detroit. But I can only guess that this was the place of the studio.
What do you think?
Until next time…peace
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.
What do you think?
Until next time…peace
