A Lady and her Dog

The lady appears to be taking a break by leaning against the fence. Perhaps, they were out for a walk and needed a moment to rest. I think the dog is a Scottish Terrier but I am only guessing.

Based on her clothing, I am placing this image in the 1940s.

On the Back Porch

I do not have any identifying marks on this photo. The three ladies look like they are taking a break. I base this on the young boy who is eating some bread or roll.

Perhaps, two of the women were out doing chores or collecting eggs. In the background, there appears to be a barn. There is also a pair of work gloves on the top step.

The third lady appears to be a visitor. But she resembles the other ladies. I am thinking they are all related.

Based on the clothing and style of the image, I am placing this photo in the 1940s.

A Day at the Beach

This image is from an estate lot. I believe, they are a family on vacation. I wonder if they are staying in one of the cabins behind them. Or if the beach is actually in front of them passed the persona taking the photo.

I place the photo in the 1930s. I am basing this guess on the vehicles in the background. If anyone knows the exact make and model I would love to narrow down the date.

Family from the Mid-1940s

I am still sifting through the photos from an estate lot. This family is in a lot of the photos.

Unfortunately, there are no identifying marks on the images. From the hair styles and clothing, I am placing the photos in the mid-1940s range.

I wish I knew more about the people in the images. I am assuming they are all from one extended family group.

Brothers–August 1943

This image is from another estate sale lot. In my opinion, the two young men look like brothers. I am basing this assumption on their facial features.

The photo does not contain any names. But the back is stamped with the Brown Photo Service, Minneapolis, Minnesota logo with the date August 28, 1943.

Either the young man in uniform is on leave or he has just joined the service. The date is only the processing date of the image.

I wonder if he returned home? The date corresponds with WWII.

Until next time…peace.

Bush Lake 1957

This photo actually has some information on the back. The handwriting is faded but I believe it reads:

Big Bush Lake Fishing

Dec. 25, 1957

And, then the names Eugene, Oscar, and Dennis.

I know there’s a Bush Lake in Minnesota. And, one here in Michigan.

I cannot tell you the exact location of the photo.

Vintage Christmas Photos – Day 2 – Opening Gifts

This Christmas photo did not have any identifying marks. I place the photo around the late 1930s to early 1940s.

The lady is well-dressed for her Christmas celebration. I wonder what was in the box. I am guessing, she is a grandmother or great-grandmother to the host.

I love the Christmas cards in the background and the old-fashioned tree.

What do you think?

Merry Christmas!

Until next time…peace

Vintage Christmas Photos – Day 1 – A New Bike

I am assuming this is Christmas morning. The young child just received a new bike. I wasn’t sure at first if this was a Christmas photo. But I finally spotted the Nativity Scene on top of the old television. Also, there are a lot of wrappings and boxes on the floor.

I cannot tell who is sitting on the sofa. But the person appears to still be in pajamas which is why I was thinking this is Christmas morning.

What do you see?

Merry Christmas!

Until next time…peace

Ski Time

Can you believe it’s November 1st already? Soon, the holidays will be here. And, of course, since I am in Michigan, there will be snow.

This snow photo is from an estate lot. I do not have any information. I am placing the photo in the late 1940s or early 1950s. My guess is based on his style of clothes and the wooden skis.

What do you think?

Until next time…peace
