Vintage Photos - eBay Set #1 (81-84)

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.

There aren't any dates on any of the slides in this set but they all would have been taken in the mid to late 1960s. The first three appear to be from a birthday celebration of the guy featured in the first photo. There was another photo from the same party in the previous set and as mentioned there, his birthday (or at least when he was celebrating it) must have fallen on St. Patrick's Day given the preponderance of the color green, clovers, and other indicators.

The first photo features the birthday boy with some of his presents. Not sure if the Excedrin was one of them but maybe it was to help with the hangover that would be induced by the bottle of alcohol. The second photo shows a lady in a walking cast. The third photo shows the birthday boy again, this time opening presents (looks like chronologically this would come before the first).

The last photo, clearly taken a different time and place, shows a bride and presumably her parents.

As a side note, the $100 bill in the third photo, after taking into account inflation, was the equivalent of $822 dollars today (assuming this photo is from circa 1968).

The entire collection that has been scanned and uploaded so far can also be found here. This also includes higher resolution versions and versions with post processing.
