Vintage Photos - eBay Set #1 (141-144)

in #photography18 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.

All of the photos in this set were processed in November 1966 and were probably taken near that time. The first three feature some sort of outdoor cookout or maybe just hangout at night. Pictures from the same place have shown up in previous sets. I don't know what it is about these photos in particular but all of a sudden everyone looks like an Italian mobster. And apparently they have a garden faucet that dispenses bear (see the first photo).

The last photo shows a cat drinking out of a bird bath. The cat is probably wishfully thinking of bird soup...
