Another item found cleaning up, I was given this photo album at a yard sale. The elderly woman selling it had it marked $0.50 and when I started looking at it she told me to just take it. Surprisingly, it was pictures of her family yet she didn't seem to care about it! It's very small, with contact size prints glued inside. I've had it for about 10 years now and haven't really looked at it since the day I got it. The pictures were so incredibly faded that most looked like nothing more than a yellow blob. It's rainy out and my 85 lanthar and Varifocal won't be here to play with until at least tomorrow, so I decided to scan them. Actually some really cool pictures. I didn't want my O/P to be 3 pages long, so I just posted my favorites, I hope it's no too excessive: If you're interested you can see the rest on the found film flickr I'm building (since I buy and sell a lot of used equipment, I get this kind of stuff from time to time and have come to collect it like cameras 🙂)

Gay olde tyme.
Children on cobblestone with an American flag.
I might post some more later in the day. I especially like the carnival shots. I can't tell exactly when or where they were taken but I think some are in Pennsylvania. I see a GAR monument in one shot, but no motor cars, so perhaps 1900-1920? Any comments, suggestions are appreciated. I apologize for my poor photoshop skills.. I did what was necessary to make the viewable.
