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. 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. Despite the weird numbering change, this is part of the same batch of slides I have been scanning...not sure what I was trying to do with the numbering...
The first photo was processed in September 1968 and features a tow truck towing a car. I think this car belongs to the couple usually seen in these photos. The nice thing about this photo is it makes the location obvious. The address of the towing service is on the side of the truck and it is in North Brunswick, New Jersey.
The second photo is undated and features a pet squirrel. Similar photos have shown up in previous sets. I get the impression this was just a squirrel caught in their yard. Maybe it had been injured?
The third photo was processed in August 1966. I'm not sure who this couple is but this photo was taken on Miami Beach.
The last photo was processed in May 1965 and is obviously from a birthday. There have been other photos form this birthday in past sets (or perhaps photos from other birthdays).
