As a farmer’s daughter, I cannot imagine working the fields with horses and hand tools. But I know that was the reality of farm work before tractors and other equipment were invented.
The photo shows two men clearing weeds or harvesting plants. I am not sure what they are holding. There is another gentleman in the background. He seems to be leading the team of horses.
I do not have any data on the photo.

Until next time…peace
The image was part of an estate lot. Unfortunately, the auction seller did not have any information on the photos.
In the photo, this young man is extremely proud of his plane. I am guessing, he built the plane as part of a project, maybe for Scouts. I am putting this photo around the late 40s or early 50s.

The photo of three women has information on the back. I love when I find photos with a little information. First the photo has a date: July 1940.
Next, the image has names: Hilda Shoberg, Rosilia Shoberg, and Ellen Shoberg Dablin. Then at the bottom of the photo reads: Rosilia & Ellen first cousins.
I wonder if the ladies were just visiting. Or if they were attending a wedding or family reunion.

I purchased a large box of 8×10 photos. All the images are beautiful wedding photos. This image is tucked inside a larger folder. The bottom of the top matte reads Agdanowski Studio, Bay City. Unfortunately, there’s no year on the photo. Based on the style of clothing, I would guess early 1920s.
I love the bride’s dress. I wish I could see the color of the flowers. Everyone looks so proper and fine for the wedding day. I think the bridesmaid resembles the bride. I wonder if they are sisters.

This photo was part of an estate sale purchase. My favorite part of the photo is the information on the back. The photo had a location, Benjestown Road, Tennessee, and a date, 1945. I generally do not get any information on the back of a photo.
From the girl’s clothing, I am guessing, this is her first time on a horse.

Over the years, I have worked on many photos, negatives, and films. Some photos I just can’t help but wonder about the back story. Who was this person? Where was this photo taken?
The Man in the Doorway is one of those photos. I am assuming, the photo was taken on a military base. He appears in other photos that would corroborate this guess. But unfortunately, that is all the information I have.

These little girls look like they are having so much fun. They are definitely dressed up. I am wondering if this wasn’t after a church service, social event, or Easter Sunday. Unfortunately, the photo does not contain any factual information.
I love how the little girl is holding her baby. She has the little doll all covered up. The two other girls are pushing her down the sidewalk. I think they are pushing her in a doll stroller. There’s actually a larger stroller in the background.
There’s also a gentleman sitting on the lawn in the background. He is probably watching them as they play.
What do you see?
Until next time…peace.
These photos are from an estate lot. I do not know if this was a school project or part of the curriculum. The farm display is definitely a teaching point. There are posters on the black board to go along with the exhibit.
I am assuming the photo is from the early 1950s. However I do not have any information to confirm the date or the location of the photo.

Until next time…peace
I recently won an auction lot of tintype photos. I have always been fascinated with these types of photos.
I think I need to take the time to learn how to do the process.
I do not have any information on the images. The bidding lot description read from various estate sales. I have no way of known who is in the photo.
What do you think? Do you like tintypes?
Until next time…peace
Happy Friday, everyone! Here are a few photos from a recent estate lot purchase. I do not have any names or dates with these photographs.
I personally find these pictures amusing. The photographs are definitely taken in New York City at Rockefeller Center.
I just returned from a New York trip. I was one of those crazy people who stood out in the rain to watch the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade. I recognize every place these photos were taken.
The gorgeous Christmas tree at Rockefeller Center. I wonder what color those bulbs were?
The Rink at Rockefeller Center. It always looks bigger in the photos. But I still enjoyed watching the people when I was there.
The beautiful St. Patrick’s Cathedral.
I am guessing these photos are from the late 1950s or early 60s. What do you think?
Have you been to NYC?
Until next time…peace
