A Family in 1929

Another image that I cleaned up from an estate sale. I would love to know the stained glass window’s colors on the image’s right-hand side.

This photo does have a date, October 1929. The style of clothing matches the date too.

In my opinion, I think the photo is a couple and their child is holding grandma’s hand.

Lady in Front of the House

I am assuming the lady is posing in front of her house. Perhaps, the house was a new purchase. I can see other houses reflecting in her windows which leads to me to believe the house was in the suburbs. Another scenario, the house may be part of military housing. The photo was in an estate lot with other military photos.

I do have a little information on this image. The back of the photo is stamped with Brown Photo Service, Minneapolis, Minnesota, Sept. 11, 1942.

Going on a Picnic

I honestly do not if the couple in the photograph are going on a picnic. But I love the big picnic basket the gentleman is holding. They are in dress clothes. The couple may be attending a church social or reunion.

I do not have any details of this image.

Springtime

Yet another image without any identifying marks, I am guessing the photo was taken in the spring. I can spot daffodils in the background along the little wire fence. Generally, these types of flowers bloom in the early spring.

Perhaps the photo was taken during a joyful spring celebration, where Easter played an integral role. The lady appears to be finely dressed. Or maybe she is just showing off her beautiful flowers on a sunny day.

Woman with the White Hat

I can’t help but confess, that certain photographs captivate my imagination entirely. And this particular image is undeniably one of them—an enigma waiting to be unraveled before our curious eyes.

What is the story behind this captivating image? Where exactly was this beautiful photo taken? And what could she possibly be doing in this picturesque location? Is she perhaps on a well-deserved vacation or is she involved in building a new home? The possibilities are endless!

What do you think when you look at the image? Do you notice any clues that suggest the season or location where it was taken? Due to the muddy landscape, I am guessing, the photo was taken in the Spring time. What do you think?

Until next time…peace

Last Day of School

In my opinion, the photo looks like the last day of school or a field trip. What do you think?

I do not have any information on the photo itself. If you look closely at the border, the words, “Moen-Tone” are printed on all four corners.

After a little research, I found an ad for Moen-Tone photo services from a May 1, 1937, Farmer’s Wife issue.

I cannot guarantee the photo was printed through this company. But I do know many other photos from this auction purchase are from Wisconsin.

Just a Girl and Her Baby Doll 1944

This image was part of an estate sale purchase. Unfortunately, I do not have any information on the name of the little girl or the exact location of the photo.

The photo does have a date and printing service stamp.

March 24, 1944

Brown Photo Service

Minneapolis, Minn.

There’s snow in the background of the photo. I assume the photo was taken in the spring. Perhaps around Easter, the girl and her baby doll appear to be dressed up. Maybe they were heading out to church or dinner.

What do you see when you look at the image?

Father & Sons 1944

This image was part of an estate sale. Unfortunately, I do not have any names or an exact location for this photo.

The image is stamped on the back with Brown Photo Service, Minneapolis, Minn., May 4, 1944.

I think the image is of a father with his two sons. Of course, one of his sons is in the military. The other one appears too young for the service.

The date stamp lets me know the photo was taken during WWII. I assume the military man was either home on leave or just entering his military service.

What is your opinion? What do you see when you look at the image? I would love to know the real story behind the photo. I also wonder if the young man came home safe after the war.

Until next time…peace.

Photo of the Day: Happy Couple

I like this photo. I do not know the couple or have any information about the photo. But they look happy. I am assuming they are married. They appear to be in dress clothes. 

Perhaps, they are on their way to church or a wedding. I might have to colorize this photo at a later date. I am really curious about the pattern and color of her dress.

What do you think?

Until next time…peace

Photo of the Day: July 1964

This photo was part of an estate sale that I purchased online. I do not have any information on the people in the photo.

I do have a date: July 1964

I am guessing the photo is part of a celebration. I believe the couple standing directly behind the cake is celebrating their 50th anniversary. I am basing my assumption on the golden candlesticks on both sides of the cake.

What do you think?

Until next time…peace
