Outstanding in their field:

 

These photos are so much fun to look at, thank-you for saving and sharing them Bluumz
The 'Washington Birthday' photo looks like it was quite the party

 

That’s maybe half the items in the album but I’m done! Most of the others are just people standing around or are in faded/poor condition.
I will share a few of her post cards in the postcards thread.

 

Isn't it nice to see people not only smiling, but laughing, even gigglig! And Adonis...swoooooon!


LOL!

 

These photos are all simply wonderful.... but how sad is it that someone discarded the album, in the first place? Again, Bluumz, I am just so glad that you rescued it!

 

Very nice. Thanks for sharing. They look so happy in the photos.

 

The woman I bought the album from said she'd bought it from family. She also had a few albums of studio portraits, for which she wanted $$$. She sold me this album for peanuts, thinking no one would be interested in candid shots. But they're my favorite type of vintage photos!

 

I guess.....it helped be well heeled...in the Dirty 30's........!!!!

The photo's are wonderful....... a time capsule !!!!

 

Great photos, @bluumz . Thanks for sharing them!

 

She liked a good looking man no doubt ! I too wondered about them looking so prosperous during the great depression. Such fun to see these.

 

john anderson is a stud puppy........i'm in luv !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

I've always thought these cut crystal beads were 1920s or so. Think this picture was marked 1932.
We were discussing these in another thread.
Thanks for the close up.

Great collection of pictures. Particularly like the boots

 

the wealthy would have still used the stuff they got in the 20's..... that dating seems fair enuf..

 

Hello, This thread is of GREAT interest to me, as Bertha of this photo album was my mother. Many thanks to Blumz for tracking me down and offering to restore the photo album to my family. She's the best. And I'm glad you all enjoyed the photos and treated my mom with such great respect. If any of you have questions for me, I'd be happy to try and answer them for you. God bless you, Todd Beezley (Roanoke, VA)

 

I don't think jodhpurs were ever considered proper tennis gear. In the 1930s, women athletes dressed like this. (And here's a history of tennis fashion from Vogue.)

Suspect they were at a lake camp and wore the activewear they'd brought for all outdoor activities.

Welcome to Antiquers, Todd. What a nice message! And thanks to @bluumz for tracking you down and offering the album to you!

 

Todd, that is PHENOMENAL! So many of us loved the photos that Bluumz shared (for me, many of them were like looking at my own family's old photos) and I think it's absolutely wonderful that they're being returned to your family.

Big shout out to @bluumz : you're a kind & thoughtful hero in my book!
