Vintage Photos - eBay Set #1 (49-52)

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.

The first photo in this set looks like maybe Christmas dinner. It was processed in January 1969 so presumably this would be Christmas 1968.

The second photo was processed in September 1968. Without any other context, a photo of two nuns seems a little out of place.

The third photo features an evening by the camp fire. There have been several other photos from this night (or one like it) in previous sets.

The final photo was processed in September 1965 and was taken outside the Sahara Resort Motel in Miami Beach. Somewhat surprisingly, this motel that was built in 1957 still exists though it is known as Sahara Beach Club today.
