Vintage Photos - Oestreicher (1685-1688)

See the previous post in this series here.

I made some impulse buys after getting a new scanner and picked up a huge batch of slides a while back. These pictures span from as early as the late 1940s to as late as the early 1990s. These were from Goodwill and eBay (sometimes via estate sales). There are many thousands of these slides. I will be scanning some from time to time and posting them here for posterity.

This set continues a large batch of slides that originally came from an estate sale and appear to have belonged to a locally well known photographer from the Spokane Washington area named Leo Oestreicher, or perhaps a friend or family member of his. These slides contain some landscape and portrait photos but also a lot of typical snapshot photos. Here's an article on him from 1997 which is the only info I have found on him: http://www.spokesman.com/stories/1997/jan/04/photos-of-a-lifetime-museum-acquisition-of-leo/

Some of the slides in this set are labeled with the names of the people in the photos but they are not dated. They all look like they were taken at the same event. It looks like some kind of fancy dinner...maybe a fancy Christmas dinner or something like that... These were most likely taken in the late 1950s or early 1960s and were apparently taken around Christmas. I am posting the versions here that were processed with color restoration and Digital ICE. While most slides I come across in which colors have faded have a red tint, these had a fairly significant blue tint. The color corrected versions came out pretty good though.
