Packing Up

Posted on by Rebecca C.

Here’s another photo from an estate sale Unfortunately, this image does not contain any written information.

The background shows rustic type cabins. There’s even deer heads sticking out over the entry ways. I would like to think they were on a vacation retreat. The hood is up which makes me think they are getting ready for the trip home. The gentleman was most likely checking all the fluid levels before traveling.

Google suggests the car is a 1948 Chevrolet Fleetmaster. But I cannot confirm the details. If someone is a car buff, please let me know if the information is correct.

The car year does coincide with the photo era. I am placing the photo in the early 1950s.

Just a Boy and His Tent–1947

Posted on by Rebecca C.

This is another image from an estate sale. I was lucky with this photo. There’s a little information on the print.

If I am reading it correctly, it says. “Belden Burr Smith” with the year 1947.

I just love photo because he looks so happy to have a little tent.

Farm Bureau Picnic-1951

Posted on by Rebecca C.

I bought this image as part of an auction sale. I love the fact this image has information written on the back. The downside…it’s hard to read.

The photo was taken in 1951 at a Farm Bureau Picnic. The gentlemen in the photo are: Walter Brewsinger (?), Frank Forshee, Art Kuhl, _____ Horning, Rha Arnold, & Don Johnson.

Of course, after starring at this photo, I wonder the flavor of pie.

Happy Mother’s Day!

Posted on by Rebecca C.

I believe this is a mom and new baby. I think, the baby is a boy. But I am not 100% certain. It’s hard to tell sometimes in older photos.

I have a lot of photos of this family. I believe the timeframe is the 1940s.

What do you think?

Once again…Happy Mother’s Day to all the wonderful moms out there.

Until next time…peace

Full of Smiles

Posted on by Rebecca C.

Like many of my photos that I purchase, I do not have any identifying marks or information on this image. I wonder if the lady is the little girl’s grandmother or great grandmother.

I looks to be a beautiful sunny day. They both are smiling for the camera.

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

A Sunny Day

Posted on by Rebecca C.

The little girl is all dressed up. Perhaps, she’s going to church or off to visit someone. From the style of clothing, I am placing this photo in the late 1940s.

Like most of my images, I do not have any further information.

I absolutely love the little suitcase and stuffed elephant in the photo. I am positive they are the little one’s prized possessions.

Holding Hands

Posted on by Rebecca C.

LIke many of my photos, I do not have any information. I love this image of the couple holding hands and walking toward the dock. I am assuming they are on vacation.

There are two “Live Bait” signs in the image. The sign on the right has the most information. It reads Reserved Customers-Sea Breeze-Ice Cold Soft Drinks-Beer-Groceries.

My Google search, placed the Seabreeze in Florida in the 1940s. I cannot guarantee it’s the same Seabreeze. But the date is where I would have placed the photo.

A Lady and her Dog

Posted on by Rebecca C.

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

Posted on by Rebecca C.

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.

Until next time…peace
