Vintage Photos - eBay Set #2b (42-45)

in #photography28 days ago

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. 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. Despite the weird numbering change, this is part of the same batch of slides I have been scanning...not sure what I was trying to do with the numbering...

The first photo was processed in September 1968 and shows a backyard barbecue. There have been a bunch of similar photos in previous sets from the same or different events. My guess is this was a Labor Day thing.

The second photo was processed in December 1968. It's kind of interesting in that it shows a football game on TV that was presumably being broadcast live. I can only see one of the uniforms but it looks like it is probably the New Orleans Saints to me. If this photo was really take in December 1968 then this could be the Saints/Eagles game on December 8th or the Saints/Steelers game on December 15th.

The third photo was also processed in December 1968 and shows a kitten. Perhaps signaling touchdown while watching the above football game.

The last photo was processed in June 1965 and is a shot of the usual featured couple sitting on the couch.
