May 1961

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.

Two Men in Front of Signs

I don’t have any information about the two men in the photo. However, I did look up the ads for more information.

I researched “Jeeps! I’d rather have a milk-nickel” which is a chocolate ice milk slogan. The ad was in place from 1934 to 1941. The dates match the style of clothing and photo type.

I wonder if the two men were part of the benefit. Or if they were just posing in front of the signs for the photographer.

A Vacation?

The image did not have any identifying marks. Based on the clothing and type of image, I am placing the photo around the late 1940s.

I think the ladies are on vacation with a grandson. On the left, there looks like a monument.

An Airplane Project

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.

Benjestown Road-1945

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.

Man in the Doorway

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.

A School Project

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.

What do you see?

Until next time…peace

Tintype: A Gentleman

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

Christmas in New York

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
