Vintage Photos - eBay Set #2 (333-336)

darth-azrael (67)in #photography • 7 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 (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 three photos were all processed in August 1966 and all feature vacation photos from the Miami Beach area. I'm not sure who the "guest" couples are in the first two pics. My impression is that they are probably just people met while on vacation though I supposed it could be people they are vacationing with. It took me a minute to figure out what was going on in the third photo but apparently those kids are dancing as you can see some musicians in the background. You can also see two other people taking photos in the background. All three of these photos were taken at or behind the Sandy Shores Motel on Miami Beach (as were many of the other beach photos from this batch).

The last photo is undated (but also from the mid to late 1960s) and shows a bunch of kids apparently getting ready to jump in a lake.
