Vintage Photos - Oestreicher (1605-1608)

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/

The first photo in this set was processed in November 1960 and shows a horse in its stable. The next three were all taken in August 1957 according to the hand labeled dates on the slides. The first of those is of a little girl's birthday party (6th if the number of the candles is any indication). The next two are at some kind of beach. I would guess by a lake somewhere but it's hard to tell. These appear to feature the same family.
