Vintage Photos - Oestreicher (1461-1464)

in photography •  last year 

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 large batch of slides that originally came from an estate sale and appear to have belonged to a locally well known photographer from the Spokane Washington area named Leo Oestreicher, or perhaps a friend or family member of his. These slides contain some landscape and portrait photos but also a lot of typical snapshot photos. Here's an article on him from 1997 which is the only info I have found on him: http://www.spokesman.com/stories/1997/jan/04/photos-of-a-lifetime-museum-acquisition-of-leo/

Many of these slides had the date they were processed stamped or printed on them. In most cases these photos were probably taken relatively near the processing date.


The first two photos in this set were processed in September 1964 and look like they were taken along a lake. The second features docks and boats with a boat loaded for a fishing trip in the foreground.

The next two photos have no dates but were probably taken in the late 1950s or early 1960s. The first features a close-up of some flowers and the second, according to the handwritten labeling, features a lady named Gladys Osborne with a lake and mountains in the background.
