I love it when there's a legible address in an old photo.

Mae Payne: January 18, 1948.

This is Corwin at Fine Lake in 1947.

A selfie from 1960.

A view of a ship off the coast of Fuchal. Any ideas what ship or ship line it might be?

Photo was taken in July 1963.

Here's another location mystery I'm working on. It's a church. I think it's in the United States.

What I do know: it was taken around July 1960.

Slide AI-1920 is the wing of a Pan-Am plane, photographed in July 1960.

I'm now processing the remaining slides from the Americana Images box. I think this is an aerial view of either somewhere in Lebanon or Iran as the other slides on the role are from those two countries.

Any ideas?

The very last slide from the five bound box of slides I got off eBay. 2354 slides in total.

December 1962: A body of water, a road, a tunnel and interesting geology. Any idea where in the world?

Spent a couple hours tracking down evidence of a brick wall that has mostly been torn down at a location in Washington D.C. Only then to later find a slide where the family is watching the wall nearest them being torn down.

Erin/Hartford Wisconsin, July 1936. This is a shot / reverse shot from the corner that at one time had a church, a gas station, and a restaurant further down.

The church is still there but apparently closed. The restaurant is still there. The gas station has been razed.

July 1963: Father and son collapse at an outdoor restaurant / bar in Venice.

Apes Den, Gibraltar, July 1963:

Barcelona, July 1963: Estàtua de Frederic Soler (Pitarra)

A Gibraltar street scene from July, 1963.

2/22/1962: Parma, Ohio

Mrs. Koch and Mrs. Nimy shovel snow in front of their homes.

11/20/1959: the birthday girl in blue poses with a ceramic cat she received as a gift.

Who she is? No clue yet. Location: probably Milwaukee, WI. Beyond that, no clue yet.

The last third of this box of slides is truly mysterious and is refusing to give up many of its secrets.

I'm scanning slides today. I have photo of an ornate room... walls are a golden color. Seats are upholstered in red. There's a woman in a red dress who is visiting. There's a man dressed casually but the way he's sitting and the way he looks completely at ease in this setting makes me suspect he is important.
