Vintage Photos - eBay Set #2 (290-293)

avatar

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.

The first photo in this set is was processed in November 1965. It was probably taken in the backyard of the house of the older couple that has been seen throughout this set. There have been a bunch of other photos from one or more backyard cookouts scattered throughout. I suspect this couple are neighbors or other friends.

The next photo is undated and features a birthday party. Or at least there is a cake with candles.

The third photo is also undate and was taken somewhere on Miami Beach. There have been a number of photos taken behind this motel on the beach.

The last photo, again undated (but all of these would have been taken in the mid to late 1960s), shows the picking of what looks like an avocado. This photo was also probably taken in the Miami area.


processed November 1965
