No dates/info on the back, no claims of family relation!

Pictures taken shortly after ww2 ended. The tall man seen in the 1st and 2nd picture is my great-great-grandpa, standing next to my great-great-grandma (in the 1st pic) not sure if she’s also the woman in front of him in the 2nd but I think she is. “Fun”fact she passed away 8 days after he did, in 1965 despite him having been 19 years older!

I have no information on any of these photos.

If at all possible, I would like to know if anyone knows these people, place, or time of when these were taken. There is no information on the back of the photos.

I found and bought them from an antique store a while back from a box full of old photos.

Thank you for your help!

Hey everyone,

I know this is a massive longshot, but I’ve seen Reddit work miracles, and I am desperate to find the only copies of my family's memories.

My mom passed away in 2012, and in the devastating aftermath, our family lost a storage unit in Toledo, Ohio due to unpaid fees. The contents were sold at auction either in late 2012 or 2013.

The unit contained a huge pile of meticulously documented family photo albums that my mom spent her life putting together. Because storage buyers often sell or donate vintage photos to local thrift stores, antique malls, or flea markets, I’m hoping against hope that they are sitting in someone's attic or a local shop instead of a landfill.

Here are the specific details:

• The Last Name: Johnson
• The Timeline: Auctioned off in Toledo around 2012 or 2013.
• The Contents: A very large volume of photo albums.
• Distinct Labeled Names: Many of the albums or pages were labeled with our names and nicknames: Katie (or Katie Mae), Lizzie, Steve, and Chris.
• The Visual Identifier: I have attached the photo used for my mom's obituary in 2012. This exact picture (or prints from the same day) would undoubtedly be mixed into this collection.

If you are a storage unit buyer in Northwest Ohio, a local vintage/antique picker, or if you ever bought a bulk lot of family albums matching this description, please reach out to me. If you know of local Toledo estate sale or auction Facebook groups where I should cross-post this, please let me know.

Thank you all so much.

The antique was in VA, if I had to guess the picture itself might be from the 50s or '60s

Very sweet little treasure trove. Some kids, a dog, a chapel, a playground.

These images came from an antique camera I bought and it was still filled with a roll of film. I got them developed a few years ago. I can't remember where I bought it or which camera it was from, but I imagine (it's very possible) it was on Cape Cod, Mass. because of the contents.

Regarding the graphic on one of the t-shirts, "In the 1960s and 1970s, The Dennis Inn had multiple incarnations, including The Dennis Inn Restaurant and La Coquille Restaurant." (According to the history of The Dennis Inn.)

The church looks not unlike the church at Old Sturbridge Village.jpg). However, that is admittedly similar to a million cutesy little churches around New England.

Summertime stripes and swinging around a dog. Maybe a family and friends enjoying a summertime beach vacation.

It would be really cool to reunite these with their people. This is the first time they would see these photos of themselves. If this was indeed taken circa 1970, these kids would be in their 60s or so.

Sadly, I am sure the dog is long gone. But it looks like she had a happy life and lots of humans who loved her.

Some incredible quality and surprisingly dynamic images here. In late 2025, staff at the Alpine Club in London uncovered a large collection of photographic negatives dating from the late 19th and early 20th centuries. The negatives had been stored in the club’s basement alongside mountaineering equipment and geological specimens.

My husband and I just bought our first house. It was built in 1865 and the previous owners had lived there for 60 years. This was the only thing left behind in the kitchen cabinets and drawers.

Found these wedding photos at a local thrift. Looks like they span a few different decades, maybe 1930s - 1970s??

It made me sad to see something sentimental like this donated. I didn't buy them, but i hope they find a good home.

Daguerreotype or tintype portrait?
I have no additional information on this piece.
It is about the size of a .20c piece.

I rescued this 1893 family portrait from a Goodwill that received its

donations from 75 stores in the greater Milwaukee and Chicago area.

Upon opening the frame, I found a piece of paper taped to the back with

a list of first names. The picture was taken in 1893 (133 years ago).

The challenge is to find this family's last name and track down their

living descendants so I can return this photo back home. Can we solve

this mystery together?

I have a photo of a well known businessman at a party performing some gag involving him wearing a rubber chest plate with six breasts and a grass skirt. This guy was known to throw private parties for adults at his remote lodge involving a lot of alcohol and wild partying. I know this because my grandmother and her husband were caretakers/hosts of the lodge, that's how we got the picture. Because of the chest plate, the people who keep a historical display at the library didn't want the picture, and I couldn't find anyone else that might want it. Being into genealogy, my take on it is it is evidence of the guy's sense of humor, and honestly if he was my grandfather it would crack me up. I however, understand how putting something like that out into the world might cause some shock and whatnot if shared. What would you do with it?

Lots of junk. The frame came apart and the photo is stuck to the glass. Nothing written on the back that I can see

Found these family photos, I figured someone forgot about them.

Found on August 24th in the rocks at the bottom of toketee falls in Oregon. You need to climb under the gate and essentially rock climb down the path to get to this area.

Picture with a joker card and a note that says

“Cleps
KCC
Around $150
some (same?) (Save?) time
and money”

Polaroid looks like it was taken at a site similar to Mesa Verde. Looks like Native American buildings under a big cliff ceiling.

Going through a box of stuff I’ve been lugging around since college and found a little album I had likely purchased at the Goodwill in Duluth MN in 2018 (going off what I can read on the receipt stuffed in the pages). It has this photo of a kid in the 80’s meeting Santa. I’d love to return the photo to its rightful owner if it means anything to them.

After my mother passed away, I received several boxes of memorabilia that, at one point, belonged to members of my parent's extended family. Photos and documents dating back to the late 1800s. For the most part, the photos are undated, with little or no information about the people in the photos. Here are some of the more interesting photos that I've found so far. Moral to this story; talk to your elders when you have the chance. I wish I had!

I have no idea who they are. My mom had this photo for some reason. They aren’t relatives as far as I know. The photo studio is in the Bronx but we’re from Wyoming. Wish I knew who they were!

the first three photos have been returned to the family, along with the letters. the ones from the album remain there to preserve what she put together. :)
