Showing Their Age

Old Photos In My Collection

You may already know that I have quite a large collection of photographs.

The overwhelming number of them are photos that I’ve taken over the many years that I’ve been a fan of photography. My personal photos start about 1960 making some over 60 years old.

Additionally I have a few hundred photos that I’ve been archiving for relatives. A large proportion are older – many dating back to the early 1900’s. A few are one hundred years old.

Below are some of these photographs that I’d like to share. Not all of them are ancient but they represent items or events that should harken you back to an earlier era.
