Vintage Photos - eBay Set #1 (85-88)

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 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.

The first and the last photos in this set would appear to go together in that they are from the same wedding. The first features the bride with a couple of her bride's maids and the last features the bride and groom at the reception. These don't have any dates but they would have likely been taken some time in the mid to late 1960s. Other photos from this wedding have shown up in previous sets.

The second and third photos were both processed in May 1969 and were presumably taken somewhere near that time. The second shows and elderly couple kissing in a park or perhaps near a church (I think I see Jesus in the background) and the third shows a man blowing out the candles on his birthday cake. I think it says "Happy Birthday Johnny".
