Thanks. I enjoyed that very much.

I remember my grandfathers well, one who was born in 1896, the other 1898...so the 30s were right in their wheelhouse

What I remember most: they always visited wearing a dark suit and tie, and they always wore a fedora. And oh yeah, they were always smoking...either cigarettes or cigars. I kept looking for that in the video and didn't see as much of that as I expected

But it was a fun watch

These are fantastic films! You can find many others on YouTube which feature the 1920s, 1910s, 19-aughts and even a few 1890s. The latest technology in video enhancement software is miraculously able to clean up imperfections in old film and restore them to look even better than the quality of the original film.

Keep posting these as they're amazing time capsules - especially the ones where an attempt at color was integrated.

Peace!
