Vintage vehicle teaching materials
Unlike most of my posts here, this is not a photo. But it is interesting; a single piece of vintage teaching materials that show three different types of “modern” vehicles.
This is a cardboard “plate” about 8 1/2 x 11 in size. It was the only one I found, but it’d be interestin [...]

1950s Willamette Falls
1950s Willamette Falls
This is the historic Willamette Falls in Oregon City, Oregon. Oregon City was the capital of the Oregon Territory and the default “end” of the Oregon Trail for many years.
It has been a site of commerce since the 1860s, the site of the first Hydropower Plant on the West Coast, and at the time it was built, [...]
Amusement Park Film Strips
Amusement Park Film Strips
Going through a new bulk buy, I found these interesting film strips. They appear to be from one of those coin operated amusement park photo booths. Both strips have three photos of the same subject. For some reason I feel like these are British women, but I have nothing to back that up. Not even the rest of the phot [...]
Light Industrial Plant
Light Industrial Plant
These photos are from about 1960s. The originals are large format 35mm Ektachromes. It looks like an incinerator burning the refuse from another plant. We also have a vintage dump truck dumping stuff into a hopper, possibly coal?
1939 Chevrolet Wrecker
1939 Chevrolet Wrecker
1939 Chevrolet Wrecker owned by Purdy, Shell. Purdy is a small town SW of Seattle Washington on the other side of Puget Sound. Photo was taken sometime in 1970. The Shell station there seems to be long gone, and it is unclear if this truck was still in daily use then although I suspect it likely was.
1923 HCS or at least part of one
1923 HCS or at least part of one
I love this photo from September 1970. It is labeled 1923 HCS – Chehalis (a city in Washington state.) It looks like it was likely at a swap meet of some sort, but you wouldn’t be able to tell what they were looking at if it wasn’t for the label on the slide.

WWI Photos – 1st Engineers Company D
From a collection of what I believe are 4×6 Autochrome slides, are these photos, of World War I photos. These are obviously copies as mine show the photos tacked to a wall of some sort with standard push pins. I cropped those out to try to get to the “original” photo. Nor have I been [...]

Kirk Grandparents – photo by W.C. Gibbon in Scotland, South Dakota.
Also says “My mother’s cousin” – which I’m assuming is the girl in the middle?
