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.

Great pics! Thanks for posting. The wifey & I enjoyed those. Love the cars ... man I missed out on some great iron -- was born 30 years too late.

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.

Thanks for sharing! Pic #4 and #5 are from about 30 miles south of me in Caribou, Maine.

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.

Cool! Picture 10 shows carnival banners. American Pickers had an episode where they found one of those banners in poor condition, worth thousands!
