Vintage Photos - eBay Set #1 (37-40)

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. 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 most 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 slides in this set were processed in 1965. Most of them appear to be on a beach vacation somewhere. Possibly Miami or elsewhere on the East coast of Florida. If the processing date is close enough to the actual date they were taken, this could have been Labor Day weekend.

All of the photos in this set were processed between 1965 and 1969. The first shows preparations for some kindo f dinner celebration. Given the hearts I would guess it was for Valentine's Day and to back that up this slide was processed in February 1969.

Another party apparently. Given the champagne and funny hats I would guess New Year's. This slide was processed in May 1965 so if this is New Year's I guess it would have been New Year's 1965.

The third photo was taken on a beach. I can pretty definitively say this was taken at the Sandy Shores Motel in Miami Beach. For other pictures from this motel, see these images. They are from a postcard and in the bottom section you can make out the same Sandy Shores Motel Pool sign in the lower right that you can see part of in this slide. This slide was processed in August 1965.

There's not much I can say about the last photo it except that it features the same guy found in most of these photos. Given the same date stamped on it I suppose it could have been taken from inside the Sandy Shores Motel.
