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 was processed in November 1966 and features a yellow rose.
The Second photo was also processed in November 1966 and appears to show the examination of quite an extensive collection of pennies. I imagine some of them are quite valuable now though who knows what happened to them...
The next two photos do not have a date but would have been taken some time in the mid to late 1960s. The first of them shows a meal being prepared. It looks like some steaks and I'm not sure what is being grated. Maybe an onion or potato? The next shows cleaning up after a meal. I can't say for sure that these were taken on the same day but it look like they could have been. There are several people in the last one so this was probably some kind of dinner party though I can't tell what the occasion might have been.
