This image is from a recent estate lot. I don’t have an exact date. I am guessing the time frame is mid to late 1930s. I base this on the style of clothing and the type of photo. They look happy posing in the backyard or flower garden together. I wonder if they were dressed up to go somewhere special.
The photo of three women has information on the back. I love when I find photos with a little information. First the photo has a date: July 1940.
Next, the image has names: Hilda Shoberg, Rosilia Shoberg, and Ellen Shoberg Dablin. Then at the bottom of the photo reads: Rosilia & Ellen first cousins.
I wonder if the ladies were just visiting. Or if they were attending a wedding or family reunion.
I purchased a large box of 8×10 photos. All the images are beautiful wedding photos. This image is tucked inside a larger folder. The bottom of the top matte reads Agdanowski Studio, Bay City. Unfortunately, there’s no year on the photo. Based on the style of clothing, I would guess early 1920s.
I love the bride’s dress. I wish I could see the color of the flowers. Everyone looks so proper and fine for the wedding day. I think the bridesmaid resembles the bride. I wonder if they are sisters.
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.
These little girls look like they are having so much fun. They are definitely dressed up. I am wondering if this wasn’t after a church service, social event, or Easter Sunday. Unfortunately, the photo does not contain any factual information.
I love how the little girl is holding her baby. She has the little doll all covered up. The two other girls are pushing her down the sidewalk. I think they are pushing her in a doll stroller. There’s actually a larger stroller in the background.
There’s also a gentleman sitting on the lawn in the background. He is probably watching them as they play.
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.
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?
I think I have more than one photo in front of this Christmas tree. I am going to assume everyone was at a family Christmas party.
Of course, I am only guessing. But, I remember as a little girl, my great-grandmother would host a Christmas party. At some point, everyone had to have a picture taken in front of the tree.
