| "NUMBER OF ITEMS":
One HUNDRED + PLUS, original black and white photographs,
some may be sepia,or other processes
such as Bromide,Albumen,Platinum,Palladium,Color,Etc. (depending on what gets pulled out of the box next:)
NOTE: THE SCANS THAT I SHOW HERE ARE SOME OF MY FAVORITES OF THIS LOT*** Most will be black and white from my PREVIOUS SALES OF OTHER LOTS OF 100 PLUS, experiences,
BECAUSE : there were many styles of photography since the civil war times,SOME OF THE PROCESSES ARE VERY HARD TO FIGURE OUT, SO I MIGHT MAKE A NOTE OF THAT FACT IF IT IS SIGNIFICANT AND SPECIAL.
ANOTHER NOTE: BIG LOTS OF 100 PLUS ARE AROUND A DOLLAR Or so ,CHEAPER> IN THE SNAPSHOTMANIA STORE FRONT. THAT’S MY EBAY STORE,the reason being,BECAUSE THE LISTINGS ARE CHEAPER TO LIST. ALSO, I might have, AROUND TEN OTHER LOTS OF 100 PLUS LISTED IN ANOTHER CATEGORY, such as “photo albums” SO YOU MUST CHECK MY OTHER AUCTIONS, if you are thorough. You should look at all my auctions to >> SEE THEM, AND MAKE A GOOD SELECTION OF YOUR FUTURE LOT PURCHASES ,OR BIDS
///////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// ////////////////////////////////////
Members question:”I have read and reread your discription and I need a bit of clarification please. Are the photos that you show as examples included in this lot or not?”

LET ALONE HERE ARE A 100+ ALMOST FOR THE PRICE OF TWO!
AT THE RATE THESE LOTS ARE GOING ,I WILL BE OUT OF THEM SOON~! (ONE DAY) VERY SOON! ==============================================================
"CATEGORY":
VERNACULAR SNAPSHOTS, WHICH MEANS OLD PHOTOGRAPHS
MADE BY MOSTLY, THE NON PROFESSIONAL PHOTOGRAPHER
THE KIND OF PICTURE THAT ONCE WAS IN THE PRIVATE FAMILY ALBUM
I USE THEM FOR CREATIVE PURPOSES AND INSPIRATIONAL STUDIES
THE LOTS ARE
PERFECT FOR THE ARTIST IN YOU,
SUPER FOR MAKING OUTSIDER ART
FANTASTIC FOR THE " ACEO " ENTHUSIAST OR SCRAP COLLECTOR
GREAT FOR COLLAGE,
NICE FOR THE STUDENT ,OF CHARACTER READING
GREAT FOR ACTORS STUDY,
TO IMAGINE WHO THE PERSON WAS?,
QUESTIONING ONE’S MIND ABOUT ATTRIBUTES OF ANOTHER’S LIFE
SUPER, FOR THE WRITER WHO WANTS TO TELL A STORY
INSPIRATION, COMES NATURALLY WHEN TIME IS SPENT LOOKING AT THESE PICTURES
, GREAT FOR CUT UP, OR TEARING FREE ,FROM ORIGINAL PURPOSES
ANY CREATIVE USE IS FINE,
THE ARTIST’S MOTTO
I LIKE TO PAINT ON THEM, PUT GLUE ON THE BACK, THEN "RE-MIX" THEM INTO WHAT I CALL ART
SOME LIKE TO PUT THEM INTO DOLL HOUSES, LIKE MINIATURE PROPS
SOME LIKE INSTANT RELATIVES.
AS YOU MAY START TO SEE ,OR HAVE ALREADY KNOWN THERE WILL BE MANY USES.
TRADITIONAL OLD PHOTOS CAN NOW,BECOME THE "NEW" PIGMENT ,FOR APPLICATION IN CREATIVITY, AND IMAGINATION.
THEY ARE :
"OTHER PEOPLES PICTURES",
" CLOSE TO HOME"
"VERNACULAR SNAPSHOTS" "JUST DO IT"
MAKE BUSINESS CARDS OUT OF THEM
JUST RECENTLY ,I GAVE AN ARTIST FRIEND OF MINE TEN OLD PHOTOS , AND THEY FUSED THEM TOGETHER BY SEWING MACHINE!
CREATION IS ENDLESS.
I WAS THINKING, TO DROP THEM OFF THE PIER AT THE OCEAN, AND MAKING THE ULTIMATE VIDEO TAPE RECORDING,
THEY WOULD FLOAT, AND COME TO SHORE WITH THE WAVES.
BUT SO FAR, I HAVE JUST BEEN MAKING ASSEMBLAGE OUT OF THEM ,AND USING PAINT ON TOP OF THEM, TO EXPRESS MY SELF
FOR THE SCRAPBOOK PERSON A WEALTH OF VISUAL INFORMATION.
SCRAPBOOKING IS FUN.
==============================================================
"CONDITION DETAILS":
I WOULD SAY MOST OF THESE ARE,#6 OR #7
(on a scale of 1-10; 10 being near mint )THESE ARE MOSTLY GOOD CONDITION
BUT ONE MUST REMEMBER THAT THESE PHOTOS ARE OTHER PEOPLES PICTURES,
FOUND IN A BOX
OR FROM BROKEN ALBUMS.
THERE WILL BE PICTURES WITH CORNERS BUMPED AND SOME SMALL TEARS OR WRITING ON BACK OR FRONT.
THERE COULD BE TAPE OR TRIMMED PICTURES IN YOUR LOT.
CREASES, OR SURFACE CHANGES, FROM TIME AND HANDLING OVER THE YEARS.
THIS LOT IS PERFECT FOR THE ARTIST WHO LIKES TO CREATE WITH SCISSORS ,CUT AND GLUE.
THE COLLECTOR WHO LIKES TO MAKE SCRAPBOOKS.
THE INSPIRED ARTIST
PERFECT FOR THE WRITER WHO LIKES TO BE STIMULATED BY CHARACTER FACES ,THAT ARE UNKNOWN , AND FULL OF INSPIRATION.
NEAR PERFECT CONDITIONS MAY EXIST IN THESE IMAGES ,
I KNOW IT IS A SURPRISE,
AS THIS LOT FROM IS FROM UNKNOWN PEOPLE,
WHO WERE EITHER TIGHT OR LOOSE, WITH THEIR FAMILY PHOTOS
DURING THEIR LIFE TIME AND THEIR LIFE CONDITIONS.
SO THERE IS A RANGE OF CONDITIONS FROM ONE THRU TEN.
PLEASE START CHECKING MY "SNAPSHOTMANIA" STORE FRONT FOR INSTANT BUYS
ON OTHER LOTS FROM THIS SEMI- ENDLESS BOX FULL OF SNAPS.
I WILL BE LISTING MANY IN THE NEAR FUTURE.
==============================================================
"OBSERVATION" / "MY DESCRIPTION" / OR "INTERNET EXCERPT":
THE TYPES OF PICTURES THAT ARE MOSTLY IN THIS BIG BIG BOX ARE LISTED LOOSELY IN THE FOLLOWING WORDS, ( I WOULD SAY FROM 1860s TO 1980s IN SOME LOTS) BUT THEY MIGHT VARY SOME AS IS NATURAL, THE BIG BIG BOX FULL IS WHERE I PULL FROM.

PLEASE LOOK
AT MY OTHER AUCTIONS OFTEN:
PLEASE NOTE:
My vintage photographica items are ALWAYS ORIGINAL
UNLESS OTHERWISE NOTED.
The photographs are much sharper in hand
than the scanned images appear on the computer screen
I have many photographic images in my collection
I usually list new items everyday offering; "Buy it Now",
"Special Low Price - Take it Away",
or," On the Spot Offerings".
In the following outline are some of the categories and definitions
of what I like to list consistantly:
(1) My collection includes important historical photographs for museum collections,
and for private collectors
(2) Regional photos will be offered from time to time,
including your home town, local history, etc.
(3) Images of unusual or particular interest,
like this one that might be up for auction right now.
Many times I will pull out a group of similar categories from my archive,
and list a series, or a theme motif.
Often I will list "General" typical album photos for the "Artist",
or for experimental use and scientific study.
These will be at very inexpensive starting prices!
(4) Photographica related objects ,
will be listed occasionally.
which means items that are not photos, but relate to "Photography" or "Studio",
such as objects, books, cameras, darkroom materials, letters, etcetera.
(5) Beautiful visual compositions in a vintage photographs.
These compositions are my love, and have become my specialty.
I always say, "The composition is a pleasure for the eye".
(6) Photography by " Known " artists
"Known",signifies: Signed or stamped by the photographer
with their name, identification, or attribution
(7) SPECIAL ITEMS: I also list "things" for friends ,
that are non-photographically related.
IMPORTANT NOTICE: Even though photography is my expertise,
inbetweenwhiles,I do list
different or unusual items that are not photography related.
