Miscellanea circa 1938

These old photos were found amongst old family photos. 
They were probably taken by my grandfather.

Ted and Vivian- June 13, 1943

These photos were actually dated, although I'm sure it's the date of 
development as they appear to have been taken at various times

I wish this photo was clearer!

Ted and Vivian- early 1940s

As my grandfather was the avid photographer,
there are very few pictures of him...

 
 But many of my grandmother...


Before PETA- real fur

Such a pretty smile

Skinny lady, small tree
Probably my grandmother's first organ
