Vintage Photos - Goodwill Lot 1 (105-108)

4 months ago

I made some impulse buys after getting a new scanner and picked up several batches of slides a while back from Goodwill and eBay. These pictures span from as early as the late 1940s to as late as the early 1990s. There are many thousands of these slides. I will be scanning some from time to time and posting them here mainly because I find them an interesting way to look back at the past.

I don't know a whole lot about the ultimate origins of this batch of slides other than they came from Goodwill. Like previous batches, these too often have a date stamped on them that I assume indicates when the film was developed and I believe in most cases should give approximate dating for the photograph itself. So far these seem like mostly vacation photos that were taken in the 1960s and 1970s. I've identified places in Italy, France, Mexico, and Hawaii so far.

All of the photos in this set were processed in August 1970. Based on previous photos in ths batch from that date, they were all likely taken in Italy.

The first shows a woman in a restaraunt or cafe. They don't look very busy.

Google images made the second photo pretty easy to identify as being in the town of San Gimignano in Tuscany, Italy. This is apparently headed towards the main square.

I was surprised that Google images as easily identified the third photo but it did (once I cropped out the car). It was also taken in San Gimignano.

I had less luck identifying the final photo but it appears to be some kind of museum, likely also in San Gimignano but could be elsewhere in Italy.

The entire collection that has been scanned and uploaded so far can also be found here. This also includes higher resolution versions and versions with post processing.
