Great photos...especially like the ones with the creepy stuffed animal drinking beer and eating pickles.

The last picture was taken on Santa Monica Beach, the pier in the background is Pacific Ocean Park (POP). The other side of the pier is Venice Beach.

Wow! Thank you for the information guys.... This album has more really strange photos - I will try and scan sometime next week. I think I really would have enjoyed hanging out and drinking a beer with these people & the creepy thingy....

Here he has only had two beers so far!

Looks like "Felix the Cat" from the cartoons of that time

The baby on the goat is supposed to be the Yellow Kid; right down to the bald head and long nightshirt. There is a cast iron toy by Kenton that the children are imitating. The stuffed animal in the photos is Felix the Cat.

Those are awesome photos. I'm an estate sale junkie and find old photos all the time. I'm fascinated by them. And depending on the image, they sell fairly well. Did you purchase them to sell? I imagine some of those would do fairly well on ebay.
Terrific images. Thanks for sharing.

Hey Cubsguy,

I am the same as you... I am fascinated by old photos etc. How it usually works for me - I will buy something with the intent to sell - Then I become enamored by the history etc. - Decide not to sell - Then find something new that occupies my time (researching, history etc.)... Collector****

Overtime I will probably sell these? But I say that all of the time

I had thought the creepy thing had resembled Felix The Cat, but was sure these photos are older than he was...I was wrong, wikipedia has him as being created in 1919. I always thought he was a 1930s creation.
