A photo for the Vintage Photos Theme Park monthly topic of costumes and uniforms—Halloween, theatrical, and other kinds of costumes, or uniforms from medical, military, and other settings (submit a photo on this topic each week in addition to—or instead of—a photo for the weekly topic) . Is it a ghostly apparition or just some out-of-focus Halloweeners? Sometimes it's hard to tell. A red-border "Kodachrome Transparency," circa 1955.

An undated red-border Kodachrome slide, circa 1950s.

An undated red-border Kodachrome slide (probably late 1950s or early 1960s).

An undated red-border Kodachrome slide (probably 1950s). The Humpty Dumpty Potato Chip Company was originally a U.S. company (now it's called Humpty Dumpty Snack Foods and is based in Canada), and I believe that this photo of a Humpty Dumpty Potato Chips factory was taken somewhere in Maine in the 1950s.

An undated red-border Kodachrome Duplicate slide. Hughes Dairy Bar was located along Route 15, north of Tioga, Pa. For another view of this same car, which is a Ford Super Deluxe convertible with a 1949 license plate, see Just Married, 1949 .

An undated red-border Kodachrome Duplicate slide. The honeymoon getaway car is a Ford Super Deluxe convertible with a 1949 Virginia license plate. This same car also appears in Newlyweds at the Hughes Dairy Bar, Tioga, Pa., 1949 .

An undated red-border Kodachrome slide (probably late 1950s). This pipe-smoking fellow reminds me of J. R. "Bob" Dobbs of Church of the SubGenius fame. In another slide (see The Silence in the Room Was Deafening , below), this same man is holding his pipe as he sits in a chair. A third slide (see Birds at Home , below) shows the same room from a different angle (compare the lamp, table, and floral-print chair).

A hotels/motels photo for the Vintage Photos Theme Park . An undated red-border Kodachrome slide showing two women posing in front of an unidentified motel, probably sometime in the late 1950s.

This red-border Kodachrome slide (undated, but probably from the late 1950s) shows an underwater performer at Weeki Wachee Springs. She's holding food to attract fish in one hand, while she hangs on to the air hose that she uses for breathing in the other hand. As Wikipedia explains, " Weeki Wachee Springs is a natural tourist attraction located in Weeki Wachee, Florida, where underwater performances by 'mermaids,' women wearing fish tails as well as other fancy outfits, can be viewed in an aquarium-like setting in the spring of the Weeki Wachee River."
