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 is undated but looks like it goes along with one of the photos in the last set. Yet another get together in the house of whoever owned this camera. I can't tell if this was a special occasion like a holiday or just a random party. If it was a holiday, it was probably one of the Summer holidays like 4th of July, Labor Day or Memorial Day.
The second photo was processed in May 1966 and shows a young girl holding a cat. This was taken in the same house as far as I can tell.
The third photo was processed in February 1966 but really is one of the least interesting unless you like photos of flowers.
The last photo was processed in August 1966 and is another beach pic like many that have be scattered throughout this batch. This is most likely somewhere near Miami Beach. There is a newspaper visible in this photo. I can make out part of a headline which I think says "LBJ Flays Vie"... I tried searching for the headline online in hopes of finding an exact date but was unsuccessful. The closest I found was "LBJ Flays Viet Policy Critics" but this was from a May 1966 North Hollywood newspaper and clearly not this newspaper (likely the Miami Herald). It's very likely the headline is something similar though.
