Vintage Photos - eBay Set #1 (125-128)

in photography •  28 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. 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 most 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.


All of the photos in this set were processed in August 1966 and appear to have been taken at the same time and place. They feature, presumably, a family of six...Mother, Father and their four kids. I assume that this family is related to the older couple that frequently shows up in these photos (at least one of which is probably behind the camera taking the pictures) with the kids being their grandkids. If I had to guess, I would say the grandparents came to visit (with their camera of course) as this doesn't look like the house that the older couple usually show up in. The Father certainly seems prepared to relax with his drink and pipe in the first photo. You can tell these are old photos because the kids aren't all staring at phones.
