Vintage Photos - Oestreicher (1581-1584)

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/

All of the photos in this set were taken in the Christmas 1960 time frame and I believe they were taken in Hawaii. The first two feature the "Aloha Angel" which appears to be part of some Christmas decorations somewhere. The third shows some flowers on a table but given the presence of a coconut cup I'm going to guess this is still in Hawaii. The third shows Christmas cards taped to the wall. I remember my grandparents doing something similar, taping Christmas cards from the current and previous years around door frames.
