WW – June1942 Grade School Photo
1927 – 869 E Price St.
A very young mechanic, noted on the back of one of the photos: “1927 – 869 E Price St.” That’s it — no city or state or names.
1920′s Young Girls Playing Posing for the Camera
The girl on the right looks very much like the young girl in this photo previous blog post.
This found photo was in a batch that came from Chicago. I guesstimate the date to be early 1920′s.
They may be youngsters in this photo, but if alive now, they would be oldsters.
Miami Baseball Stadium, c. 1950
I never saw a baseball game here, but I did attend a few concerts here during the 1970′s. The most memorable was Fleetwood Mac, Kenny Loggins & Chick Corea and the Return to Forever Band.
… feeling very old at the moment!
Howard Johnson’s – 1100 Biscayne Boulevard, Miami, Florida (c. 1939)
Pan American Airways ~ Globe of the Earth ~ Miami, Florida ~ early-1940′s
This huge Globe of the Earth is constructed of steel, weighs 3-14 tons and has a diameter of 10 ft. and circumference of 31 ft 5 inches. It is placed in the center of the Pan American Terminal building at Miami, Florida.
60 years later – I wonder what happened to it?
Proud Grandpa and a Beautiful Baby! (c. 1920′s – California)
A Found Photo from a group that came from California.
I love the look on this man’s face. He is so happy and proud!
And, I think he’s the same guy that was hanging around the tree in this photo!
Anyone for a Road Trip to the Painted Desert? 1920s?
Just Hanging Around
Found Photo – Two Guys Just Hanging Around (In a Tree!)
Can anyone read what is carved into the tree?
I have absolutely no clues about this photo. I just like it.

Harriet Scofield, October 1921
Hey Harriet!
The problem with collecting “found photos” is that they are rarely named and dated. However, sometimes, a collector gets lucky.
So, we have here, Ms. Harriet Scofield posing for her photo all dressed up with somewhere to go!
Woman Your Country Needs You!
1929 Vintage Tennis Fashions ~ Burdines, Miami
Another favorite from the Florida Archives.
We used to go to Burdines (Department Store) in Miami every Christmas to see Santa (during the 60′s – not the 20′s!)

1920′s ~ Ladies Out for A DriveMexicali Beer ~ 75 Cents a Pitcher; Dapper Gentlemen Bar Hopping
Mexicali Beer anyone?
Just 75 cents a pitcher!
This found photo was in a batch that came from California.
I can only guess that this photo was taken in the early 1900′s.
1910′s or 20′s?
The shadows are tagging along for the cheap beer.
Marmon Motorcar, Steel Erector Set Bridge, and A Wistful Girl
Breaking away from the “Wordless” part of Wednesday for a moment. Do you notice on the fender to the right of the woman? It says “Marmon” on it. I am only guessing at the 1920′s on this photo based upon the clothing/style.
Hey Harriet! Check out the Vintage Critter Guard Dog
Not the most welcoming look on this dog’s face …

1924 California – Jack Russell Hitching A Ride
1920′s Young Girl With Toys on the Porch; Shadows, Toys & Fashion
There is an awful lot going on in this photo including the neat shadows on the porch from the fence slats.
Is she a child? or a young woman?
Do you think the doll is kind of creepy looking?
