Photo Album:

 

This is a photo album from the 1960s and 70s. I bought it at an antique fair for ridiculously cheap and then saw how full it is with wonderful old pictures and memories.
It contains around 250 black and white pictures and around 100 of them has a signature on the back:




50 have this signature on it:




 

 All of these pictures are small 6x9cm and only one of these is 9x14cm and that one is one of my favourites. especially the note on the back:

 


"Faint like the memory! Oh whose is this third hand?" This makes more sense in hungarian i promise. At first i didnt understand this text but then i saw the third hand on the woman's arm.

Is this a family heirloom, or did you rescue it from an estate sale or something?



no no this isnt a family heirloom, its from a antique fair that part when they put stuff in cardboard boxes and just give you everything you pick for like a few dollars. but damn i remember there were more in that box.. ow i want to go back and buy more. its truly worth it

Wow, that sounds cool! The closest thing we have to antique fairs around here are estate sales.


I fished a yearbook from the 20's out of a dumpster once, still had loose photos inside. But I thought the pantry was a safe place to keep it...No prizes for guessing what my parents did to it when they found it.

Wooo thats sounds exciting and whats up with your parents? What they would do?

Well, mom cleaned the pantry last week, and I realized the yearbook was nowhere to be found. She hadn't thrown anything out yet, so presumably what happened was she found it much earlier and it went right back to the dumpster. What a waste.
