Visit the site for a good hard look at what some lives were like in the early 40's!

Truly astonishing photos. They captured an amazing look into the past. 8)

Unusual to see colored slides from this period. I have a video tape from the same period that was made from 8 mm home movies by a cousin. It has no sound but I treasure it as most of the people on the tape are deceased. Me excluded of course.

I wasn't born until 1943 and don't rember much before '48 or '49 but, I have seen alot of old family photos from this era. The only ones that I have ever seen were black and white not color. In fact, if you had ask me before, I would have said that color photos didn't come until around 1950 or so.
Does anyone else know what a "Kodak Brownie" is? ;D

The "Brownie" was an original box type camera as best I recall and it used either 120 or 620 size film with 8 exposures on a roll. I think it got the nickname because it was covered in brown leatherette. I don't remember if there was any means of 'flash' sync or not.

No flash, 127 roll film on the model I had.

Great pictures. I wasn't born until 1960 but my first camera was a brownie from a garage sale. Daddy taught me how to use it.

Here are some pictures for you folks from Wisconsin - http://www.wisconsinhistory.org/whi/advancedSearch.asp - I love looking at old photographs, as I like history. Thank you for sharing the link, very interesting. A fellow railfan and modeler, sent me that site awhile back, for the train pictures. I plan a scratch building a couple of the buildings that are in those pictures for my future model railroad.
