Home on Leave

When a photo has a little information, I just love it. I don’t have a year but I am thinking this image is from the early to mid-1940s or the WWII era. I am basing this guess on her style of clothing and uniform.

The back of the photo has a name: John K. Dablin (USAF) and mother. I do not know if he was actually home on leave or leaving for active duty. I hope he came home safely.

1922

The original image was badly damaged. But I restored it to the best of my abilities. I also added color. The image does not have any names or location. However someone wrote a year: 1922.

From their facial features, I believe they are all siblings.

Jane-1925

The image is from an estate sale. But there is actually some information on the back of the original photo.

The handwriting reads: “Jane, aged 1 years”. Then it continues with “At Mrs. Roger’s where we lived on Canal St.”

There is also a printers mark with the following information: “Nov. 15. 1925.”

Unfortunately, there are no last names or further location details. But she seems to be enjoying herself. There is a small toy car next to her.

Until next time…peace.

Stevie

This is originally a black and white photograph. I would place the date in the early 1950s. There’s no date on the image. I added some color. (Mostly because I wanted to see the hat).

The back of the original print reads: I love this! Stevie in Auntie Jane’s clothes. It’s definitely a very cute photo.

Ruth Jane–1929

The image is from an estate sale. I do have a little information on the photo. Even though, you cannot see her face.

The back of the photo reads: Ruth Jane, 4 months old. There’s also a printer’s mark that reads: May 12, 1929.

If you look closely at the image, there’s someone holding her up or in place.

Until next time…peace

Carl & Mayme–1915

Here’s another image from an auction sale. The original photograph has a small tear and other damage. But I did clean it up to the best of my abilities. I also added a little color to the image.

The photo has information on the back. In the upper right corner is the date: 1915. There is also two names on the back. If I am reading the writing correctly, it says– Carl Schmidt and Mayme Cronin.

When the photo is enlarged on my computer, the details of the background come into view. I believe the couple are walking around a farm.

Brother and Sister?

This is another photo from an auction sale. I don’t have any information on the image. To me the two young people in the photo look like siblings. But I am only guessing.

Focusing on boy’s attire especially the tweed jacket and the girl’s wire rimmed glasses, I am placing this image in the late 1930s.

Young Couple-1923

I know there’s still a couple spots on this image. But the original photograph was damaged. I didn’t want to lose all of the details. Anyway, I purchased this image as part of an auction lot.

Unfortunately, the only information on the photo is the year-1923. I wonder if the young couple are standing in front of their new home. Or perhaps, they just got engaged.

Shoberg Family

I picked this photo up at an auction sale. Unfortunately, the image does not contain a date. But I would place the image in the late 1930s or early 1940s. I am basing this guess on the clothing, hair style, and the type of photo.

The photo does have details on the back:

Henry & Emma Shoberg, Mathilda Shoberg Sarver Killeen, & Ellen V. Shoberg Dahlin.

I am assuming this is a family gathering. There are others swimming in the river. Perhaps, the photo was taking at a family reunion or just a day out.

Early 1940s Photo

Like most of my photos, I do not have any information. From the style of her dress and shoes, I am placing this photo in the early 1940s. She appears to be posing by a flower bush. I wonder if her dress is for a special occasion?

Of course, I am only guessing.

What do you think?

Until next time…peace
