I am assuming this young lady was photographed for communion. I am placing the photo around the 1920s.
The photo does not have any identifying marks. The only clue is the name of the studio: Frank Harper Studio at 7719 Harper Ave.
Many of the other photos from this lot were from the Detroit area. There is a Harper Ave in Detroit. But I can only guess that this was the place of the studio.
What do you think?
Until next time…peace
The young girl on the right is proudly holding a doll. The dress of the doll looks handmade. I am wondering if this was a birthday gift or other celebration. All the children are dressed well which gives me the impression the day was a special occasion.
I am guessing the photo was taken in the late 1930s or early 1940s.
What do you think?
Until next time…peace
I am guessing, that the photo was taken on the little girl’s birthday. She has such a big smile.
I don’t have any information on the photo. From the clothing and photo style, I am guessing 1940s.
What do you think?
Until next time…peace
This is the cabinet photo. So, I am placing the date around the 1900s. I do not have any information on the photo. I wish I did. I would love to know the girls’ names.
The girls are very well dressed in the photo. They obviously come from a wealthy family.
What do you think?
Until next time…peace
Since today is International Picnic Day, I thought I would share this image. I am placing this photo in the late 1940s.
There was no information on the photo. I am guessing from the style of clothes and photo type.
Do you like picnics? I am wondering if she isn’t camping or on a road trip. There’s coffee of the table. The picnic basket appears to be full.

Happy on a swing–I am assuming this is a mother and son. The photo was part of an estate sale purchase.
The little guy seems to be enjoying the swing. I am placing this photo in the late 1940s.
What do you think?
Until next time…peace
I do not have any information on this gentleman. The photo was part of an estate sale.
From the style of uniform and type of motorcycle, I am guessing the photo was taken in the mid-1940s.
What do you think?
I actually have a lot of photos of this couple. Unfortunately, none of the images have any identifying marks.
Since they are posing out front on a porch, I am wondering if they bought a new home.
From their style of clothing and the type of image, I place this photo in the early 1940s.
What do you think?
Until next time…peace
I pulled these images from slides. I was surprised to find them in my recent estate sale purchase. The previous owner did a lot of traveling. Most of the slides are focused on the trips. I admit, I love seeing their adventures. And, my bucket list is getting a lot of great ideas.
But these slides were focused on the aftermath of a tornado in Clinton County, Michigan.
Each slide has handwriting on them. In pencil are the date, event, and location. The tornado took place in August 1946 in St. Johns, Michigan.
A couple of the slides had extra details like Rudy’s trailer.
The broken trees were on Clinton Ave. I found this interesting. My grandfather lived on Clinton Ave. for years.
There’s no further identifying information on the next three slides.
The sign in the rubble reads, welding. Perhaps, the name on the business sign is Gary.
A lot of people showed up to help.
The next two slides are labeled, “Aunt Nellie’s house”.
I am assuming the lady with the flowered dress is Aunt Nellie.
Tornadoes leave a path of debris and destruction. I am hoping no one was hurt in this event.
I am hoping someone out there can provide more information on this tornado. I did a little research but did not find a lot of information. If I come across my slides from this event, I will definitely post them.
Until next time…peace
These three slides were together in a small plastic bag in my recent estate lot purchase. There was a little information: January 1969–Mexico.
I am assuming the two couples traveled together to Mexico. (Probably to escape the cold weather here in Michigan).
As I mentioned before, the couples in the images traveled a lot. I am excited to see all their destinations.
Until next time…peace
