Sitting Around Outside

 

Just a pretty young woman sitting around outside.  My best guess is from the late teens to the mid-1920s. There's a stamp on the back.  "ASK FOR (VELVET SHEEN FINISH)"  

The Staff

  

Who are these guys?  With their pocket protectors and their numbered identity badges, well, I think we can say they are not high school teachers.  I can't be sure, but I think a couple of guys in the back row, the ones without ties, might be military.  Some secret research project, perhaps? 

Let it Snow

 

It's hot out, and I wouldn't mind some cool weather.  Not snow, but lower temperatures.  I can't make out what's written on the front.  

What's Happening?

 

What is he, or is it she, doing?  Is it some sort of job, or is he just washing up?  It looks like a field has been cleared, but for what?  

Tourists

 

Probably from the late 19th century, or possibly the very early 20th century.   It looks like someplace with a tropical feel.  The Caribbean, Hawaii, the Philippines.  

The M2 Light Tank

  

I've tried to do a bit of research on this photo, and while I'm not 100% sure, I think this is a photo of an M2 Light Tank, made by the Rock Island Arsenal Company that went into production in 1937.  It was equipped with a 37mm M5 gun and machine guns.  Mostly, it was used for reconnaissance.  It was under armed for serious combat operations.

Cut Down

 

This slim photo has been cut down from a larger photo.   There is some writing on the back, but like the picture itself, some of it has been lost to the scissors.  "Dec. 20/4."  So, from the 1940s.  And, "Taken in Ge."  Perhaps Germany and a soldier on occupation duty.  Or, then again, maybe Georgia, though there isn't that much snow in Georgia.
