Vintage Photos - eBay Set #1 (117-120)

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 batch are not dated but like the rest from this set, they are most likely from the mid to late 1960s. The first shows a house somewhere in Florida (possibly the Miami area). The second shows the couple that seems to be featured most throughout these photos (along with their pet squirrel). The location isn't quite as obvious though i think that's some kind of citrus tree they are standing by so I'm tempted to say this is still somewhere in Florida.

The third photo was processed in September 1968 and shows a campfire in someone's backyard. There have been numerous other photos from this same (or similar night) scattered throughout this set. Here they are eating corn presumably roasted over the fire.

The last photo was processed in December 1968 but was presumably taken closer to Halloween given the skull and pumpkin decor.
