Vintage Photos - eBay Set #1 (1-4)

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 starts a brand new series of slides. I don't have as much to go on as to the ultimate origin of these compared to the previous set. 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 most 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 was processed in April 1969 and the others were processed in November 1968. The first is some kind of party or other event involving food and lots of people. The next three show a family camping or perhaps just cooking out and roasting marshmallows by the fire. I think these last three may have been taken in Miami. At first I thought they were dressed a bit warm for any time of year in Miami but looking at the November 1969 weather for Miami, it looks like there were a number of rainy and cool days with temperatures as low as 50 degrees Fahrenheit which is definitely cool enough to be wearing some warmer clothes.
