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 image is a family photo that appears to feature grandparents and their grandchildren (though I suppose the older couple could be great aunt and great uncle or some other relation). Presumably they are related to the couple featured throughout most of these photos in some way.
The second photo is from a small amusement park that was somewhere in South Florida. You can see the sign advertising daily circus acts and apparently there was one such act going on when this photo was taken. Both this photo and the previous one are undated but would have been taken some time in the mid to late 1960s.
The next two photos were processed in May 1965. The last photo is clearly from a New Year's party. The processing date is pretty far from New Year's but I would guess it was from New Year's 1965 and the roll of film just wasn't finished and/or developed until months later. It's less clear what the third photo is. It's a close-up of a table set in a pretty fancy way probably for some holiday as well though it does not appear to match the decor from the New Year's party.
