See the previous post in this series here.
I made some impulse buys after getting a new scanner and picked up a few large batches 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 large batch of slides that originally came from an estate sale and appear to have belonged to a locally well known photographer from the Spokane Washington area named Leo Oestreicher, or perhaps a friend or family member of his. These slides contain some landscape and portrait photos but also a lot of typical snapshot photos. Here's an article on him from 1997 which is the only info I have found on him so far: http://www.spokesman.com/stories/1997/jan/04/photos-of-a-lifetime-museum-acquisition-of-leo/
The second photo was processed in April 1958 and features the kind of décor I would typically associate with an old lady (but then this was the 1950s). The other photos have no dates to go by but I suspect they were all taken in either the late 1950s or early 1960s. The first is pretty badly faded and appears to show a man on the side of a mountain somewhere. The third shows a man and presumably his daughter with Raggedy Ann and Andy dolls. This one looks like it must have been taken around Christmas (at least I think I see a Christmas decoration or two in the background). The last one looks like it was taken from a boat on a lake somewhere.
April 1958
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.
These pictures are really just as good as a museum. I was actually thinking about you last week when I came across a small box of old pictures in an antique store, too (ultimately I left them there). I love seeing your scans when I come across them.
