Title: Dating photos of old lady
Post by: sugartea on Tuesday 22 January 13 20:18 GMT (UK)
I'd really like to work out when these photos of the same old lady were taken - I think they are some time apart. Please could someone help me to put a date to these photos. (I find the one that appears to have ben taken on a weighing machine quite funny - she doesn't look amused!) Thanks!

I would say 1930s or just into the 40s :)

Thank you very much. Would you say that applied to all three?

Yes, I think they're all from a similar time period.  Perhaps the first one is the earliest.
I hope I'm right! Some others should be along soon to give their opinions.

Judging by the Vehicle I would say definitely 1940's

Id say the first is probably late 1930s. I'm just going off of her clothes, hair and the general look of the photograph (stark contrast and that ratio strike me as similar to other photos I've seen from the '30s).  The latter two I'd say were taken in the 1940s. As another poster pointed out, I believe the car in the second photograph is much more 1940's style. Additionally, the woman looks quite a bit older around the eyes. Also some facial drooping. As for the third photo, it also strikes me as 1940s, though I'm genuinely unsure where it falls concerning the other two photos.
