Featured Old theater advertising slides c1920 - My Grandparents!

My grandparents Mina, millineress and Jerome Lee Martin, cowboy. These would have been shown in theaters in Laramie and Casper, WY

I still have a couple of her cellophane hats, but lost the beautiful leghorn years ago.

Cracked, but just the protective glass, not the graphic layer - the yellow bands are from my vintage x-ray lightbox



I've posted on Grandaddy Lee's various exploits in the Golden west before... If you're interested in cowboys, he's the real deal



Here they are, she on her third marriage, he on his second second. They met in a rough mining town, Thermopolis.

Thanks so much for sharing.

 

It's great that you have these, @scoutshouse ! I remember you telling some stories about your grandfather, and just went back to find a couple of them...

Very neat, THANKS for the look-see!!!!!

 

Everyone, thanks for your comments I really enjoy sharing as I sort, given time.

My dream is to have the time to transcribe all Grandaddy Lee's journals and correspondence, and scan all the images. I came across these looking though negatives, which need to be scanned (somehow?).

I wish it could be my full time job.
