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.
All of these photos were processed in May 1965 but appear to have been taken around the holiday season. The first two look like they were taken on or near Christmas, presumably of 1964. The first features a group gathered around a Christmas tree and the second shows a table decorated for Christmas and full of dishes ready for food...I see some dessert anyway.
The third photo looks like it might have been taken on Thanksgiving. I see some fall decorations and while the subject matter seems to be playtime with the pets, I can see food scattered about on a couple of tables.
The last photo looks like it was probably taken at a New Year's party (The Happy New Year banner in the background and the funny hats give it away) so was most likely taken on December 31st, 1964 or January 1st, 1965.
