Two Men in Front of Signs

I don’t have any information about the two men in the photo. However, I did look up the ads for more information.

I researched “Jeeps! I’d rather have a milk-nickel” which is a chocolate ice milk slogan. The ad was in place from 1934 to 1941. The dates match the style of clothing and photo type.

I wonder if the two men were part of the benefit. Or if they were just posing in front of the signs for the photographer.

A Vacation?

The image did not have any identifying marks. Based on the clothing and type of image, I am placing the photo around the late 1940s.

I think the ladies are on vacation with a grandson. On the left, there looks like a monument.

A Street Scene

Does anyone recognize the street? There are some signs. But I cannot identify the area.

If you look to the right of the image, a sign hangs above a door with the words: John F. McCarthy Real Estate Insurance. I did a quick search but did not find a perfect match for location.

On the left side of the image, there are advertising signs for appliances, luggage, china, cutlery, etc. I am assuming this was a variety store.

Sisters? Best Friends?

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.

Soaking Up the Sun

I like this photo. It’s simple. A man and his dog sitting on a porch rail. I am envisioning a warm, sunny day.

I don’t have any information on this photo. After searching through the estate lot, I noticed he is in many photos with other people. I am assuming the others are family members.

Unfortunately, I do not have a date. But I am guessing the photo was taken in the 1940s.

Working the Field

As a farmer’s daughter, I cannot imagine working the fields with horses and hand tools. But I know that was the reality of farm work before tractors and other equipment were invented.

The photo shows two men clearing weeds or harvesting plants. I am not sure what they are holding. There is another gentleman in the background. He seems to be leading the team of horses.

I do not have any data on the photo.

An Airplane Project

The image was part of an estate lot. Unfortunately, the auction seller did not have any information on the photos.

In the photo, this young man is extremely proud of his plane. I am guessing, he built the plane as part of a project, maybe for Scouts. I am putting this photo around the late 40s or early 50s.

Three Women–July 1940

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.

Bay City Wedding

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.

Benjestown Road-1945

This photo was part of an estate sale purchase. My favorite part of the photo is the information on the back. The photo had a location, Benjestown Road, Tennessee, and a date, 1945. I generally do not get any information on the back of a photo.

From the girl’s clothing, I am guessing, this is her first time on a horse.
