Photo Number Sixty-One

I thought this was a fun photo..it looks like these gals..and two guys way in the back had a great Christmas Party.  I will guess that this photo is from the late 1940's or early 1950's.  What do you think? Were they all sales women in a department store?  Several have some really stylish (wild) hats??  The gal that played Mrs. Santa certainly looks like she is a fun person..there are tiny bells along the edge of her skirt.

" Lady with a package." This photo was enlarged..it says so on the back and it is stamped June 26, 1951.  So it must be a photograph prior to 1950.  Those earrings are something else!  She might have had one of those Toni or Lilt Home Permanent Waves done too!

A Christmas  photo card from the past.. from Jan and her parents.  This must be from the late 1940's.

Photo Number Fifty-Eight

Today I will begin sharing a few of the Christmas photographs that were in my box of photos.  I call this one "Boy with Santa"   This was probably some sort of promotional photograph..or perhaps it was one of the early Santa/Child photos.  Santa's suit was corduroy!

What I remember...from the 1950's..
 
In one of the nearby towns Santa was in one of the stores for a few Saturday afternoons just before Christmas..I do not recall that they took photographs, Santa handed out little tiny candy canes, I never sat on his lap either, I just stood there and rattled off my list while holding onto my brothers hand..when I was done I shoved him forward..if he didn't say anythng I told Santa what he wanted.  What do you remember?  Did you visit Santa with your list?
Thanks for stopping!  Stop by again anytime:)

Photo Number Fifty-Seven

This looks a little like the  little boy that I featured yesterday..except this time he is outside helping to shovel snow.  It looks like he is dressed warm..but has no mittens. I will guess that this is also a late 1950's photo.

Photo Number Fifty-Six

I call this one "Boy with Gun"..do you suppose he grew up to be a police officer?  Anyway.. I like his cap pistol..and it looks to me like he had a badge or a holster off to the left.   He has a little bit of a cow-lick..I will venture to guess that this photo was taken in the late 1950's.  My brother had one of these haircuts..I believe they were called a "heinie"..with your hair all sheared off..versus a "Butch" where they left a little more on top. My brother wore a cap for a long time..this little boy seems comfortable with his haircut.

Photo Number Fifty-Five

Another bow tie kind of guy..this one from a much earlier time. I love this guys hair..it seems to have a life of it's own.  I think this is a farm kid..all dressed up in his best duds..who knows?
I will date this one about 1900..I am not getting any better at these dates..and I do so appreciate your input and help with the dates!
This was taken  by DW Bolton at Northwood, IA  I couldn't find out anything about the photographer.
