Vintage Photos - Oestreicher (1433-1436)

avatar

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 large batch of slides that originally came from an estate sale and appear to have belonged to a locally well known photographer from the Spokane Washington area named Leo Oestreicher, or perhaps a friend or family member of his. These slides contain some landscape and portrait photos but also a lot of typical snapshot photos. Here's an article on him from 1997 which is the only info I have found on him: http://www.spokesman.com/stories/1997/jan/04/photos-of-a-lifetime-museum-acquisition-of-leo/

Many of these slides had the date they were processed stamped or printed on them. In most cases these photos were probably taken relatively near the processing date.

All of these photos appear to have been taken from or near the same lake or river somewhere in the Western part of the U.S. They were processed in April 1960 and probably taken near that time. The first two, and probably the third, were taken from a wooden power boat of some kind. The second shot features a dam but I couldn't identify it. The last shot features a guy (and a girl in the background) catching some rays with a can of Lucky Lager in his hand and a can of Olympia Beer nearby (discontinued just last year) presumably near the shore of the same lake/river.
