Vintage Photos - eBay Set #1 (165-168)

in photography •  last month 

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 May 1965. It features the inside of a church. There were a couple of similar photos a couple of sets back. I'm not sure what the significance of this particular church is.

The next three photos were all processed in May 1965. Since they all feature rodents, I'm guessing they were all taken on or near the same day. The first shows a baby rodent of some sort being bottle fed in a cage. I can't tell exactly what it is but it appears to have large ears for its size. The next two photos feature a squirrel outside on some sort of rock structure...maybe a chimney for an outdoor grill or something...
