Happy on a swing–I am assuming this is a mother and son. The photo was part of an estate sale purchase.
The little guy seems to be enjoying the swing. I am placing this photo in the late 1940s.
What do you think?
Until next time…peace
I do not have any information on this gentleman. The photo was part of an estate sale.
From the style of uniform and type of motorcycle, I am guessing the photo was taken in the mid-1940s.
What do you think?
I actually have a lot of photos of this couple. Unfortunately, none of the images have any identifying marks.
Since they are posing out front on a porch, I am wondering if they bought a new home.
From their style of clothing and the type of image, I place this photo in the early 1940s.

Until next time…peace
I pulled these images from slides. I was surprised to find them in my recent estate sale purchase. The previous owner did a lot of traveling. Most of the slides are focused on the trips. I admit, I love seeing their adventures. And, my bucket list is getting a lot of great ideas.
But these slides were focused on the aftermath of a tornado in Clinton County, Michigan.
Each slide has handwriting on them. In pencil are the date, event, and location. The tornado took place in August 1946 in St. Johns, Michigan.
A couple of the slides had extra details like Rudy’s trailer.
The broken trees were on Clinton Ave. I found this interesting. My grandfather lived on Clinton Ave. for years.
There’s no further identifying information on the next three slides.
The sign in the rubble reads, welding. Perhaps, the name on the business sign is Gary.
A lot of people showed up to help.
The next two slides are labeled, “Aunt Nellie’s house”.
I am assuming the lady with the flowered dress is Aunt Nellie.
Tornadoes leave a path of debris and destruction. I am hoping no one was hurt in this event.
I am hoping someone out there can provide more information on this tornado. I did a little research but did not find a lot of information. If I come across my slides from this event, I will definitely post them.
Until next time…peace
I pulled this image from a slide. There’s actually information on the slide.
The date: 1946
The person in the photo: H. Barker
And the location: Chickamauga Lake
If my research is correct, the gentleman is standing my a Lincoln Zephyr.
What do you think?
Until next time…peace
I definitely can say this is a vintage photo. The little girl in the photo is me with my mom. I put this photo around 1972.
Happy Mother’s Day to the awesome moms out there!
Miss you mom!
Until next time…peace
I pulled this image from a slide that was dated August 1968. I purchased these slides as an estate lot. The owners must have traveled a lot. I am loving all the photos from different places around the world. If the locations still exist, I am adding them to my bucket list.
There are photos of couples in front of these cabins. Since this photo was taken in August. I wonder if this isn’t a farewell to summer picnic? The people in the other cabin could be coming together for one last summer picnic.
What do you think?
Until next time…peace
This is another image from a slide which was part of an auction lot. The couple must have spent several days in Canada. First there was photo of The Expo ’67, now I am finding photos of other tourist spots.
From my research, I believe they were at Fort Henry National Historic Site which located in Kingston, Ontario.
What do you think?
Until next time…peace
These three slides were together in a small plastic bag in my recent estate lot purchase. There was a little information: January 1969–Mexico.
I am assuming the two couples traveled together to Mexico. (Probably to escape the cold weather here in Michigan).
As I mentioned before, the couples in the images traveled a lot. I am excited to see all their destinations.
Until next time…peace
I took this image from a slide which was labeled May 1961. The group are full of smiles. I do not have any further information.
I recently purchased the slide as part of an estate lot on an auction site.
The people in the slides loved to travel. I am so excited to pull the images off them.
The gentlemen in the photo appear to be in hunting apparel which makes me think they are at a cabin.
What do you think?
Until next time…peace
