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 three photos are undated but like all the others from this set they would be from the mid to late 1960s. They appear to have been taken at the same time and place and it looks like they from the couple that owned these pics to friends somewhere.
It's always interesting when there's a newspaper or magazine in an old photo because sometimes they can help you date them more precisely. In the third photo there is a newspaper but I can't read enough of it to get a date. The only thing I can make out is an ad for Magnavox color TVs at the top.
The last photo was processed in August 1966 and was taken on Miami Beach. The couple here looks like the same one in the first picture above. Perhaps this was a vacation with friends.
processed August 1966

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.
