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 photo in this set features an older gentleman with a cat on his back. There's a bunch of kids in the background. I was thinking maybe a kids birthday party but they seem a a little too formally dressed. This slide is not dated but like the others in this batch it would be some time from the mid to late 1960s.
The second photo is also not dated. It features a couple standing behind their Pontiac Tempest station wagon which were built between 1960 and 1960...not sure exactly what year this is but probably early or mid 1960s.
The third photo was processed in April 1969 and features a couple of cats. Cat pics were popular long before the Internet.
The last photo was processed in April 1965. Based on the Easter eggs on the table I assume this was an Easter dinner. Probably Easter 1965.

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.
