1930's color photos

I just found this website with about 50 or so color photos dating from before 1940. I thought I'd share it in case someone here might be interested.

Wow, those look great. It's so different to see the 1930's in color.

That's a great find!

Here's a site for old color that will knock your socks off as well:

Y'all have probably seen it already.

Haha. Reminds me of the Calvin and Hobbes cartoon when Calvin asks his dad why old pictures were always in black and white.

These are awesome.
The picture of Cascade Idaho with all the cars packed on main street, towns around here still look EXACTLY like that!!!

That first pic (and the more famous close-up) of the mother during the Depression was shot in Nipomo, CA, about 30 minutes from my hometown of San Luis Obispo.

Thanks for the link.
