Some good stuff in here. Old warbirds and mills.
After all those years in black and white photos, it's hard to believe they lived in color.

Those are some neat pic's to see. Number 3 reminds me of an auction in Lancaster county, PA. today, and #12 has the same look, except for the car.

Pic #4 reminds me of the good ole days. We would pick potatoes to buy our school clothes for the year. I'm pretty sure I know exactly where pic #5 was taken.
