FOR THOSE WHO LOVE PRESS PHOTOS, WE HAVE FOUND A MAGNIFICENT HORDE IN A BARN IN OHIO. There are hundreds, possibly thousands of Wire and Press photos, all identified and dated. They cover so many areas of interest, dating from the 1920’s to 1950’s. Included in this horde are what I believe to be very rare and hard to find photos that will appeal to collectors. Loads of Shanghai China from the 30’s and the invasion by Japan. WWII Army equipment photos including tanks, missiles, bombs, Navy Submarines, Prisoner of War, etc. Also Automobiles, Buses, Railroad, etc. Front and back scans will be included for each, so that collectors can easily identify. Some may have grease pencil marks or other edits done by the photographer or newspaper. Many can be erased with a white soft eraser. It will take me weeks to process all that I have found, so please ad me to your favorites list, and check daily. Best of Luck to all interested. 1916 PRESS PHOTO China Chinese Parliament Reopens after 2 years No 59 Measures approx 5 X 8 inches.
