Everett Kuntz of Ridgeway, IA (pop. 300) captured some 2000 shots of his hometown folks in the years 1939-'42 - pictures no one ever saw, because he never had the money to print them.
Eventually, he forgot he still had them. They stayed locked away until shortly before he died in 2003.
The best shots have since made it into a book.
"Two Girls on a Swing."
"Porch."

The gas station pic reminds me of the intersection off Vaness and Market St. in San Francisco. Could it be? [huh]Warbaby said:Many of the vintage reference images posted here and in other threads are from the movies and vintage clothing catalogues. They're great reference images, but they often show an ideal that wasn't always met by the majority of ordinary people. I have a fairly extensive collection of vintage photographs from old family albums and I thought it would be interesting to start a thread about vintage clothing as it was worn by reg'lar folks back in the day.
I've restored the following images and if you think this is a worthwhile thread, I'll continue to add more as I get around to restoring them.

College Sweaters c.1910-1915
Train Station, 1920
Early 1920s
