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 two photos in this set were processed in August 1966. They were taken on a beach, likely in Florida. I'm pretty sure the second one, showing two girls after just getting out of the pool, was taken at a hotel on Miami Beach and I suspect the first one (the one with the lady wearing the odd...hair net? shower cap? clown wig?) was taken in Miami as well.
The second two photos are undated but would have also been taken in the mid to late 1960s. They appear to have been taken at an amusement park by the beach. You can see a pier in the background of the first one. I suspect this was near Miami as well...I'm sure it is long gone now but maybe somebody recognizes it? Skyliner is the name of a similar thing at Disney World so it doesn't make for a very good search term.
