Vintage Photos - Oestreicher (1601-1604)

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/

None of the slides in this set are labeled or dated. While most previous sets have been from the late 1950s or early 1960s, this one appears to be from quite a bit later. These are all from the early 1980s if I had to guess. The first three show some kind of warehouse/workshop and the last one shows a building under construction. Maybe a church? In the last photo there are a bunch of cars and while most of them look to be from the 1970s, I also see what looks like an early 1980s Chevy Caprice station wagon peeking out from behind another car.










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.
