They were covered in thick dust when I found them surprised they aren't in bad shape. Must of stayed dark enough to protect them
These are all awesome, JVA5th! I hope there are names on them. And/or you can identify your ancestors. I love the baby picture. I don’t know who would have pictures that old in my family. My mom had some from as far back as 1930’s or 40’s . That’s about it.
Some have names and info on the back. I don't know anything of these people just know they are ancestors from my mother's side. Some of these appear to be quite old
Awesome pics!
By what I know a good portion of them where poor but I don't know all the family history
Man, if I were you, I would be meeting with my mom and the rest of her family and try and put as many pieces together as possible. But that’s me. They are pretty old. You may not be able to figure them all out. Are you interested in ancestry? I use familysearch.org. When they stumble upon a possible family match, they notify me. Oh! I am just amazed at the family treasure you have! Just awesome in my book!
I do like the lock thingy. Really cool stuff!
They are neat pictures to come across one appears to not even be from the states. Most are on this nice solid cardboard like material, a few are set up as post cards, I'm thinking a portion of these go back into the 1800s but I know nothing of photos so could be wrong
Grommets would be of maritime origin....hunting in the main area of marine commerce.....I think any number of canvas items on a sailing vessel....sails, hatch and cargo covers, and even canvas awnings.
hey rc-i know its none of my business but i was just wondering where you live-sounds like a nice place-how was the weather there today
I don’t know a whole lot either, but those might be what they call cabinet cards.
Michigan.
