From around 1950 comes this News Archive snap of the Packard Parts counter, possibly in Columbus, Georgia. (When in doubt, "Ask the Man Who Owns One.") 4x5 inch acetate negative. View full size. Parts is partsLots of cool stuff in this picture. On the top two shelves to the left of the center arch I see clutch discs and pressure plates. On the racks in the center arch there are exhaust pipe sections, and what could be pieces of bright trim or rocker panel moldings. Just above and to the left of the telephone looks like rear axle bearings and grease seals. I have a soft spot for Packard, as I had my first ever car ride in my parents' 1952 Packard 200 four-door sedan (bought new for $3800). It wouldn't have needed clutch parts, as it was was equipped with Packard's Ultramatic automatic transmission. (The Gallery, Cars, Trucks, Buses, News Photo Archive)

Circa 1905. "New Harrison Building, South High Street, Columbus, O." 8x10 inch dry plate glass negative, Detroit Publishing Company. View full size. Cash is KingI spy at the extreme right of the photo a National Cash Register Store and there are some examples of the brass registers in the windows. They are gorgeous machines and National Cash Registers were made in Dayton Ohio. I picked up one of these antique brass beauties this week for my little shop. It still works perfectly, needs no electricity, made in the U.S.A. and is quite the conversation piece. It weighs a about 120 lbs. In this day of plastic registers, I seriously doubt any of our modern ones will be around 100+ years later. (The Gallery, DPC)

Thomas Wells, circa 1880. Besides being my Great-great-grandfather, Thomas was the local blacksmith and a farmer in the Bellpointe, Ohio, area. Bellepointe is, or was, a suburb of Columbus and Delaware. This tintype photo was taken at an unknown studio in the area. Notice his trademark cigar. View full size. Bellpointe, Ohio HearseMom's family settled in Bellpointe, Ohio in the later part of the 1800's. Grandpa Thomas Wells was a blacksmith there. This picture is the local hearse of the horse drawn carriage days. Not Grandpa driving, so the identity of this gent is unknown. Chances are, though, that Grandpa shoed that horse.

I purchased many train and related photos at an estate sale. I have little info except dates on the backs from the early 1900s to 1950. Some are from Germany, some from the Philippines but most are from the USA and much of that from California. Rather than upload a ton of pictures one at a time, there are 426 pictures that can be seen at https://railroadhistory.shutterfly.com/ If anyone knows who the people in the pictures are, I would love to know. I have looked up the names on the back of the pictures but found no one. View full size. 1959 switching errorLooking for the number of the lead unit here (an EMD F7A) brought me to this page recounting an accident at Columbus (OH) Union Station in 1959, led off by this very photo. Basically a switching error brought this engine and (by my guess) the Geep in the background together, with the resulting derailment. BTW the apparent pair of handrails are actually the antennas for PRR's "Trainphone" system, a kind of early radio-like communications system using low frequency signals sent through the rails themselves. The low frequency and power were used to get around the lack of assigned radio frequencies for rail communication. (ShorpyBlog, Member Gallery)

My grandmother Elizabeth is standing in the front row between her mother, Augusta and her father, William. As I was told by my grandmother, this professional photograph was taken of the family because Augusta, at age 36, had to have all of her teeth removed. In those days, there were cases of persons dying from having their teeth extracted. Columbus, Ohio 1895. View full size (ShorpyBlog, Member Gallery)

There was a time when every city had public pools. Up until the 1950's, though, they were subject to closures due to polio outbreaks. Polio outbreaks are no longer a problem, but many financially strapped cities of today can no longer afford to keep up pools due to other diseases. Southside pool was located on the south side of Youngstown, Ohio, near where my mother, Dorothy, lived. While I never used that one, I did use the Northside Pool (north side of town)Both have been long closed and are missed in the summertime. This picture has my Uncle Johnny and Mom in the front row and Great-Great-Grandma Wells, Great-Grandma Baumgartner and Grandma Blue. Four Generations through the maternal line. At this time Grandmas Wells and Baumgartner were still living on the family farm in Bellpointe Ohio, near Columbus. View full size. (ShorpyBlog, Member Gallery)

American soldiers during World War II are placing a wreath on a grave that has a US helmet hanging from it, with the words, Egalite, Fraternite, painted on it, and _57th Inf. and what looked like a divisional emblem. After looking at the photo with my jeweler's Loupe I was able to make out that the divisional emblem on the helmet was that of the 90th Infantry Division - the _57th Inf. on the helmet is probably the 357th Infantry, which was part of the 90th Division during World War II. I was also able to make out the name on the grave: John Schila Deming, and the words "Soldat Estranger" and the date 1917. After doing a little research online, I found the grave - John Schila Deming was born on March 24, 1884 in Columbus, Ohio. He joined the French Foreign Legion after having previously served for a brief time in the Canadian Army. He was killed in June 22, 1917, and is buried in the French Military Cemetery at Cormicy. According to the Cormicy website, he was killed at Vaux Varennes (if I was reading the translation of the French website correctly). View full size. (ShorpyBlog, Member Gallery)

My Dad, Gordon Hamilton Clevenger. I'm not sure where the photo was taken, but he was born and raised in Mokena, Illinois in 1923. He served a tour in the Army before joining the Air Force and serving in the Korean Conflict (looked like a war to him) and retiring as a Master Sergeant in 1965. He passed away in Columbus, Ohio, in 2002. (ShorpyBlog, Member Gallery)
