Pocket Pin-Ups

Very small pin-up pictures. All 3x4.5 inches.

Miss Billie Jo Mitchell

Written on the back, "Miss Billie Jo Mitchell 1847 Castle Pl. Dallas Texas-Love Dot Gene Emerich" I Googled Castle Place and found an apartment building with that name on Almazan St.

Harem

I've always been puzzled by this photograph. Is the lady an entertainer in costume? Is it a costume for a party? Is she dressed for a intimate night in with a husband or lover? From the thirties or forties I would think.

Candids By Lee

From the fifties or sixties. Stamped on the back, "CANDIDS BY LEE 2466 W. ARMITAGE AVE. BE. 5-8187 SP. 2-1980" A couple at a party with the mother-in-law.

A Southern Family

I was told that these pictures were of a family from northern Louisiana, though there is a processor's stamp on the several of the prints from a lab in San Antonio, Texas. The stamps read "THE FOX CO. SAN ANTONIO, TEX." Some of the prints are dated Jan. 1950, and others, Aug. 1950. The head shot of the young lady with the big hair is a wallet sized print, and written on the back, "Lois Goodman age 15"

Southern Belles

A collection of wallet size photos purchased from an estate in Mississippi. I guess the guy was a lady's man.

Woman With Glasses

Same woman, same glasses, three different outfits. No date or ID, though those glasses look like something from the fifties. I always find portraits of women to be far more interesting than portraits of men. So much variety.
