Vintage Photos - eBay Set #1 (137-140)

in #photography17 days ago

See the previous post in this series here.

I made some impulse buys after getting a new scanner and picked up a huge batch of slides a while back. These pictures span from as early as the late 1940s to as late as the early 1990s. These were from Goodwill and eBay (sometimes via estate sales). There are many thousands of these slides. I will be scanning some from time to time and posting them here for posterity.

This set continues a batch of slides that I bought on eBay a while back. I don't have as much to go on as to the ultimate origin of these compared to the previous batch I was working on. They came to me from eBay and most likely were picked up at an estate sale by the seller. Most of them seem to be taken in the 1960s and same individuals are included in many of the photos. It looks like there are some that were taken in Miami and some that were taken in New Jersey and perhaps elsewhere. I get the impression that Miami was a vacation spot for this family.

The first photo in this set was processed in January 1967 and features a lady playing the piano. There's a lot of random stuff in this room including a weird looking giraffe, a Yale banner and on top of the piano what looks like some sort of Christmas stuff (candles and maybe Santa hats), among a variety of other random stuff. There's also a camera and a box that probably contains slides...maybe some of which I even have in this collection for all I know.

The next three photos are all undated but were almost certainly taken in the mid to late 1960s. The frequently featured older couple is here again and this seems to be a birthday celebration for the guy. At least he's blowing out candles in one of the photos and all three were clearly taken at the same party. I really need to give him a name since he's featured in so many of these slides.


processed January 1967
