Happy Mother’s Day!

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

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.

What do you think?

Until next time…peace

A Sunny Day

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.

Until next time…peace

Holding Hands

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

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.

What do you think?

Until next time…peace

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.

What do you think?

Until next time…peace

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.

What do you think?

Until next time…peace

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.

What do you think?

Until next time…peace

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.

What do you think?

Until next time…peace
