They are very cool, but a few seem to clear and detailed for cameras and film from that era, IMO.

That's what I was thinking. Maybe they had some that made pictures look that clean?

I can see them scanning slides from back then, if they were kept in a good and dry place they would still have excellent quality (no dust, scratches etc)...

They definitely did touch up or use some kind of filter to make them look like this though.

Still very cool!

Thanks for posting the link OP

First pic in Cincinnati OH go figure parts of this place still look like we're in a depression, cool pics!

Those are amazing photos.

Wow, those are pretty awesome. It's weird, thinking of that era, almost everything we've seen in pictures is black and white and it kind of makes it hard to imagine anything in color. Especially as vivid color as these, these look better than many pictures decades newer.

Nice pics. Makes me think about our parents/grandparents contributions to society. Will bookmark this one.
