Maternal grandfather circa 1930s

He is a dead ringer for my paternal grandfather. He was from Canton OH and also German.

Ha

 

[Orchidflower]

Neat, and thanks for sharing that.

Great pic Khan. My DH's great grandparents were German and came through Ellis Island. Wish I had pics of them to share with everyone. He was a violin maker and she was a singer. I always thought that's where DH got his love for music.

 

[Khan]

Mother's sister. Army nurse. Deployed to Germany Dec. '44.

Can anyone identify that car?

 

[KennyM]

The car looks like a 1951 Buick
The nurse looks like my neighbors picture from WW2, she was a WASP. I remember one story she told was she hated flying the bombers. Too much like driving a bus. Her favorite was the single-engine fighters.....

Presbyopia...

Those are bifocal sunglasses...

 

[haha]

Can anyone identify that car?

I'd say a 1949 Buick Super- Unless another porthole is hidden behind the little girl's head. It that caso it would be a Roadmaster.

Ha

 

[Khan]

IIRC, If the car didn't start the first time they would have to wait 30 minutes to try again.

Oh, Khan you were adorable!

Y'all must have been wealthy too because you had a doll....at age 8 I had a stick....

 

[NW-Bound]

We need to see pictures every 5 years of Khan's life...

I recognize that look-- it's "What the hell are you doing wasting your time with that fool thing; grab a shovel and give me a hand here before I rip the film out of your fancy camera..."

My mother (left) at a family picnic circa 1913. She was on the lace curtain Irish side.

Me (second to left) with my brothers circa 1955. Can anyone identify that vehicle?

You played with dolls?

Just kidding....
I was a stuffed animal aficionado myself. Still am. I'm drooling over the teddy bear in the pic.

You could afford a stick?

It is a stagecoach and I'd say you were at Wild West city or one those parks that stage old west gunfights for kids.

 

[REWahoo]

Can anyone identify that vehicle?

1876 Buick. Or maybe an 1875...
