<p>Wonderful! I think that is me and my brother. I'm the one on the left side!</p>

<p>Super stuff, I really enjoyed looking at them. A couple of them well fitting the season with the tree and all...</p>

<p>I swear I know someone who looks just like the broken-nose guy with the baby on his shoulders..Could be his father/grandfather o_O</p>

<p>Thanks for sharing these Gene. </p>

<p>Awwww.<br>

I needed this - thanks Gene.<br>

Happy holidays to you.</p>

<p>Gives me a touch of the warm fuzzies....Nice to share a family, especially at this season. Great post, <strong>Gene</strong>, many thanks, and I hope you come up with many more in 2013.</p>

<p>I love that someone took the trouble to finish the roll. </p>

<p>Gene,</p>

<p>For what has happened in the last couple of days I think we all needed something like this.</p>

<p>Thanks for posting.</p>

<p>Thank you very much for posting these scenes from a different world. That sure is big sky country.</p>

<p>Thanks for posting. I love the shot of the little girl with the dogs rear disappearing off the frame. And the uninhibited use of the vertical format.</p>

<p>Great stuff. Let's hear a holiday cheer for Grandma. She knew what was important. They always do.</p>

<p>Wayne...that's the truth.</p>

<p>Mr. M…</p>

<p>I also looked at some of your other efforts at:</p>

<p>1. Your “Found Film” posts are always great!</p>

<p>2. Where ever did you get that nice looking Medalist II, with a 1949 vintage lens to boot?</p>

<p>A. T. Burke</p>

<p>I don't recall.</p>

<p>Grandmother with the dog between her legs made me laugh. And then to notice she stepped in "it" with her shoe, even more amusing. </p>

<p>Now that is Holiday Cheer.</p>

<p>Always nice to travel back to that simpler time...thank you. The shot of the little girl with that barren prarie behind just amazes me.</p>

<p>There have been many things which you turned into family treasure's<br>

and gave them life for the world to see and appreciate.<br>

Thank you very much, Have you and your's a great holiday:<br>

<p>I have said it before, and I will say it again; you and your work are priceless.<br>

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!</p>

<p>Very nice ... and reminds me of the photos my dad used to shoot with his Agfa Silette in my childhood. <br>

Seems as if there were not so many differences in childrens' hairstyles and dresses between Europe and US. Anyhow, hardly anyone wears a cowboy hat and there are hardly any wooden houses over here. </p>

 

<p>Greetings, Gene. Is there any chance you will fix the link on this set - <a href="http://westfordcomp.com/foundfilm/argusa/index1.htm"><big>Argus - A - A <br />soldiers camera</big></a> ?</p>

<p><strong>Argus A </strong></p>

<p>Although not the Argus A, there are some old photos taken with the A’s almost twin, the Argus AF here: </p>

<p><a href="../photodb/folder?folder_id=983141">http://www.photo.net/photodb/folder?folder_id=983141</a></p>

<p>With the exception of the third picture, the first 18 were taken with an Argus AF and were processed around the time of the exposure. </p>

<p>The AF was different from the A by having a continuous helical focus mechanism lens mount, rather than a two position one (6ft - 12ft and 12ft - Infinity, later 6ft - 18ft and 18ft - Infinity) on the A. It also cost two or three dollars more. </p>

<p>I too look forward to fixing of the link to the rescued Argus A pictures. </p>

<p>I recall Zip the Chimp from my early childhood. He was a real chimp on the late 50s Howdy Doody TV show. The doll was a popular gift for Christmas '59-'61. IIRC. They were sold as both "Zip" and "Zippy". I had the one marked "Zippy." My adult niece still has my Howdy Doody doll on a shelf at her house. (do they still call it a doll if it's for a boy? Or is it an "action figure"?)</p>

<p>It was a much simpler time, more relaxed .... before the day where we now have cell phones that allow us to talk and surf at the same time and allow our bosses at work to contact us instantly on our day off.... notwithstanding all the "duck and cover" drills we did under our school desks while waiting for the nuclear war to start. Those must have been some really special desks back then that would keep us safe if the big one was dropped on us.</p>
