Vintage Photos - Oestreicher (1653-1656)

See the previous post in this series here.

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 large batch of slides that originally came from an estate sale and appear to have belonged to a locally well known photographer from the Spokane Washington area named Leo Oestreicher, or perhaps a friend or family member of his. These slides contain some landscape and portrait photos but also a lot of typical snapshot photos. Here's an article on him from 1997 which is the only info I have found on him: http://www.spokesman.com/stories/1997/jan/04/photos-of-a-lifetime-museum-acquisition-of-leo/

All of the photos in this set are dated August 1957. The first and third photos appear to be some kind of kids' party. The last photo is definitely of a little girl's birthday party who is turning 6 if the candle count on the cake is any indication. If my math is right, she would be turning 71 next month. However, the clothes don't match so I don't think these were necessarily taken the same day. The second photo looks like it was taken at a lakeside beach.

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.
