    Saved from the landfill.

    Glass negatives saved from the landfill. Some interesting content that may help identify jewelry etc. Ran across this by accident while researching a notary public stamp machine I picked up for $5.

    One thing I noticed, not only did these people dress in style but also some incredibly beautiful women.

    Re: Saved from the landfill.

    Great post and i'm glad these didn't end up in the landfill, it would have been such a waste of history in my opinion. I looked at almost every photo and figured i'd have a little fun with a few of them, hope you don't mind.
