I found a series of 21, 8X10, black and white photographs of Ronald & Nancy Reagan. I found them in a junk store in central Illinois. The photos were taken in Illinois, beacuse there is a banner on the back wall that says..." DOWNSTATE ILLINOIS WELCOMES HOME ONE OF ITS OWN." Also Nancy has the same dress on in all the photos and Ronald has the same tie on. That tells me that the photos were taken on the same day.
I would go on to say that the photos were taken about 1979 or before. There is a sign on the podium that says,,,"REAGAN FOR PRESIDENT." He was not President till 1980.
I live in his boyhood home of Dixon, Illinois. So I just had to have them.
Here is a very interesting site about Reagan. www.npr.org/news/specials/obits/reagan/timeline.html

I have a set of 40 plus black and white photo from Yellowstone National Park. I think they were taken in the 1940's. There is a stamp on the back of the photos the reads "42", So that maybe the year. Some of the photos have names of the places written on the backs, like...Upper Falls, Gibbons River, Yellowstone River Grand Canyon Inspiration Point, Tower Falls, Buffalo In South Dakata, Castle Geyser, Old Faithful, Mammoth Hot Springs, and Bonneville Dam just to name a few.
Some of these old black and white photos look almost professional. There are some lovely scenery photos, photos of bears and people fishing too. I have never been to Yellowstone. It must be breathtaking to see it in person. I hope you enjoy this set of photos and please leave a comment if you like.
