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.
What do you think?
Until next time…peace
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.

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.

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 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.
What do you see?

I recently won an auction lot of tintype photos. I have always been fascinated with these types of photos.
I think I need to take the time to learn how to do the process.
I do not have any information on the images. The bidding lot description read from various estate sales. I have no way of known who is in the photo.
What do you think? Do you like tintypes?
Until next time…peace
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?
Have you been to NYC?
Until next time…peace
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.
Merry Christmas!
Until next time…peace
This image was part of an estate lot. I do not have any information on the person or location.
I am only guessing that this gentleman is showing off a new coat. I believe this photo was taken in the late 1950s or early 1960s. I love the tinsel-dripped Christmas tree in the background.
When you look at the photo, what do you see?
Until next time…peace
Like many of the other photos, I purchased from auctions or other sites, I do not have any concrete information about the little girl in the photo. I just guess.
But, I believe, there is something truly magical about showing off two brand-new baby dolls on Christmas morning! I would place this photo in the early 1950s range. I just love the little girl and her new toys.
I love the large caterpillar in the background on the table. I need to research it. I am very curious about the worm-like toy. Unless she had siblings, there were other toys. I spotted a baking/kitchen set on the floor. I think there is a stuffed dog down by her feet. But I guess the dog could be real. What do you think?
What do you see when you look at the old photo?
Until next time…peace
