Holding Funeral Prayer Cards

I am guessing…again. But I believe the photo was taken at a funeral. I am hesitant with this guess because the women are wearing white dresses. However, they seem to be holding up funeral prayer cards. Perhaps, the older woman’s husband passed away.

What do you think?

Until next time…peace.

Boys Holding Hats

I really like this picture. I can hear their mother saying, “Take off those hats”. Of course, I am only guessing. Like many of my photos, I do not have any information.

The boys are dressed in their “Sunday best, ” making me think they are headed to church. Or maybe they are heading to a church social, wedding, or other formal event.

What do you think?

Until next time…peace.

Going on a Picnic

I honestly do not if the couple in the photograph are going on a picnic. But I love the big picnic basket the gentleman is holding. They are in dress clothes. The couple may be attending a church social or reunion.

I do not have any details of this image.

What do you think?

Until next time…peace

Vintage Photo: Old Cars

I just love this photo. My curious side wishes I had more information. The image was part of an estate sale which did not have any details on the photos.

I cleaned the photo up to the best of my abilities. Do you think this was a car club? Church? Revival meeting? Reunion? I have so many guesses but no answers.

Let me know what you think!

Until next time…peace

Tillie — A Lady by the Window

The image was part of an estate sale. Written in faded pencil, the only identifying mark on the photo is the name, “Tillie” which is on the front of the print.

I would like to believe that is her name. She is sitting perfectly in front of the window. The image is definitely a studio print. But I do not have any further information.

The lady sitting by the window is adorned with a captivating piece of jewelry, delicately hanging from her neck. Its color, like a hidden secret, remains elusive. Perhaps it was a necklace, or maybe a mysterious locket.

I also noticed a ring gracing her left hand, but its significance remains yet a mystery like the entire image. Was it a symbol of love, a token of commitment, or something else entirely? Like many of the images I view, I am left with more questions than answers.

What do you see when you view the image?

Until next time…peace

Woman with the White Hat

I can’t help but confess, that certain photographs captivate my imagination entirely. And this particular image is undeniably one of them—an enigma waiting to be unraveled before our curious eyes.

What is the story behind this captivating image? Where exactly was this beautiful photo taken? And what could she possibly be doing in this picturesque location? Is she perhaps on a well-deserved vacation or is she involved in building a new home? The possibilities are endless!

What do you think when you look at the image? Do you notice any clues that suggest the season or location where it was taken? Due to the muddy landscape, I am guessing, the photo was taken in the Spring time. What do you think?

Until next time…peace

3 Brothers?

I am guessing these three men are brothers. I do not have any information on this old photo. There is not anything written or stamped on the back.

The image contains a barn in the background. I assume they are in a farming community. I would guess the photo was taken in the mid-to-late 1940s from the style of clothing.

There is also a young boy peeking around the corner on the porch. Perhaps one of the gentlemen is his father. He just wanted to see what was going on.

Tell me what you think when you look at the photo.

Until next time…peace.

Just a Girl and Her Baby Doll 1944

This image was part of an estate sale purchase. Unfortunately, I do not have any information on the name of the little girl or the exact location of the photo.

The photo does have a date and printing service stamp.

March 24, 1944

Brown Photo Service

Minneapolis, Minn.

There’s snow in the background of the photo. I assume the photo was taken in the spring. Perhaps around Easter, the girl and her baby doll appear to be dressed up. Maybe they were heading out to church or dinner.

What do you see when you look at the image?

Until next time…peace

Father & Sons 1944

This image was part of an estate sale. Unfortunately, I do not have any names or an exact location for this photo.

The image is stamped on the back with Brown Photo Service, Minneapolis, Minn., May 4, 1944.

I think the image is of a father with his two sons. Of course, one of his sons is in the military. The other one appears too young for the service.

The date stamp lets me know the photo was taken during WWII. I assume the military man was either home on leave or just entering his military service.

What is your opinion? What do you see when you look at the image? I would love to know the real story behind the photo. I also wonder if the young man came home safe after the war.

Until next time…peace.

Photo of the Day: Train

I received this image in an auction win. Unfortunately I do not have any background information about the photo.

I am assuming the photo was taken around the late 1960s or early 70s.

In my opinion, the train looks like a road side attraction. If you look closely, you can see 3 children. One is just tall enough to see out the window. I actually noticed the waving hand before spotting the child.

What do you think?

Until next time…peace.
