Vintage shots from days gone by!

Ten year-old girl with poodle skirt, 1954

 

Most poodle skirts were sewn at home with a foot-tredle Singer sewing machine. In fact, most girs/women sewed at least some of their clothes. Here's a typical poodle skirt pattern shown with trees instead. Same pattern.

 

Nope.........thats York Minster..........still standing

What on earth? Might this be a scrap yard for children's amusement car rides? Gary

 

looking at that pic above there is a pedal car i had in the early 70's, front row 3rd form left.

 

I agree...I've whined about this subject before; it doesn't take but a minute to include some where-I-got-it and/or what-this-is text with a post. Whine, whine, whine.....c'mon folk! Help educate the masses!

 

Richard Pape on his Norway to Capetown bash.




There's a book about it called Cape cold to cape hot.. It's a good read.

Another Ford V8 Model 62. That one is a 1936 model the '37 to '39 had a small trunk

Gosh I wish more of these sources would include the LOCATION and at least the year on these ol' junkyard shots! Without that, the pix become sort of just sad photo compositions without virtually no substantial foundation.

Jimi: I think I need to clarify and expand a tad here. I wasn't after Grahame's (MrFire) butt, as he isn't the original source of the pix. But, as Nitro said, it would take ONLY an extra 60 seconds to include info that was provided at the get-go. Many of these pix are located in libraries, and they cataloguing involves keeping the accompanying info. But I do think the same could be said for many, if not most, other photos too. If we all do a little extra, this fab thread could be a resource and not only a feast for the eyes. (Generalization there, but most will get my point.) Sharing pix is great, but guys and gals have all said they hunger for learning stuff they never knew before. 'nough said. Sure don't wanna piss anybody off; just calling it as I see it.

 

Dig them crazy E&J's !

 

I usually ckeck through the sites from which I post photographs. Unfortunately, there isn't much helpful information at times.
A photo, without details, can still jog the memory, it just may not be in the correct perspective on occassion.

This was the site:

http://www.monstermarketplace.com/a...rican-junkyard-1940s-large-b-and-w-photograph


and this was all the associated information:
"Details

American Junkyard-1940'slarge b&w photograph, c. 1946, recent print filled with cars from the 1930's and early 1940's, hours of fun trying to pick out the vintage cars heading for the scrapper, 21.5" x 17", A- cond., (light handling wear)."

 

LOL! Those are SOME details! The worst part is the phrase, "vintage cars heading for the scrapper"!
