Vintage Photos - eBay Set #1 (149-152)

in #photography14 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 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 is not labeled or dated but was likely taken in the mid 1960s. Clearly it was taken on a beach somewhere. Based on other photos I would say it is likely in Florida.

The second photo was processed in November 1965 and given the costumes it's pretty obvious that it was taken on Halloween, presumably in 1965.

The third photo was processed in August 1965 and is another beach photo. It was likely taken in the Miami Beach area.

The last photo is a bit blurry but given the cake and candles I would assume this was a birthday celebration.
