Vintage Photos - eBay Set #1 (197-200)

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.

Today we would seem to have a cat themed set of pictures. The first three feature a cat scaling a Christmas tree. The tree is fortunately not yet decorated. I suppose these photos could have been taken either before Christmas while in the process of decorating for Christmas or after when undecorating. However, since these were processed in December 1968 they were probably taken around that time so I tend to think it was in the decorating phase. I generally pull these slides at random to scan and then post them in the order they are scanned. The fact that there have been several Christmas and New Year's related pictures in the last several sets has just been a nice coincidence.

The last photo is also cat themed though this one was processed in January 1969. There are several cats eating here and one of them is wearing a harness, presumably for walking on a leash. Walking cats on leashes isn't all that common but I once lived in the same apartment complex as an older guy who would take his cat for a walk on a leash every day.
