Seventy five year old photographs ... roll #2

[charjohncarter]

Nice Keith, I guess they were moving West. Maybe will get to California yet. Thanks.

p.s. When I did my Dad's, I started out with a bang and quickly ran out of steam. It ended up taking almost a year. Moral: work steady.

Yep, they were run by both the tour companies and a bus company that had the franchise to run on the boulevards. I'll try to cross-reference the paint job.

there are still several companies that run double-decker bus tours in Chicago. One even has copied the design of the red London double-deckers.

Amazing.
With the owners permission you shoudl contact the historical photography museums and Library of Congress, I'm sure they would be interested in the project.

Keith, these are just really incredible! Thank you so much for doing this. I can't wait to see more. I keep going back over these and looking. I see more in each photo each time. And it is unbelieveable what members of RFF have been able to discern from the photos, of possible or in fact, the exact locations. It's just neat.

This is indeed very fun and exciting...I do enjoy viewing old photos...
Thanks Keith for your putting this together and to the others for sharing their views on what they know concerning these images...

I was asked by a friend of my daughters if I could print some old negs she found...I was able to make her about twenty contact prints (big negs)...I had a blast and she was very thankful...

This is cool...

Wow! I found these threads this morning and have been pouring through when I can. Fascinating story and brilliant restorative work.

Like several others here I inherited a number of prints and negs from an Uncle (as well as some photo gear and my first RF, a IIIFrd). I sort of had considered scanning them, but after seeing your efforts Keith I must do this! Much of the stuff is 20's American west and none of it is 35mm. I think there is some Roosevelt inauguration from '39 (wide format roll film-116?)

Thanks again for your efforts and posting these interesting flashbacks of history!

A couple of 'out takes' from the roll ... looks like the inside of a bus or similar to me?

Keith, could these "out takes" be taken inside a ferry / boat ?
