Now you have me digging through my files.....
Here's one I took around 54 years ago. The negative has suffered quite a bit from bad storage. I've always liked this picture and been meaning to dig it out and see if I can do some restoration on it. (or maybe, just clean it up digitally in Lightroom....)

Another, I didn't take it, but it's family. Taken on the family farm in Spencer Idaho about 1900. (Guess just who ran that crew.....)

I love the old black and whites too. Here's a few I was able to find.
1. Me on my first motor cycle, an old Mustang. Taken in Waco Texas in front of my cousins house in 1959. I was 15 years old.
2. My maternal grandparents outside their house on 2nd street in old Waco Texas circa 1920.
3. My mother outside the old house on 2nd Street in Waco, circa 1921.
4. My maternal grandmother with the baby of the family, circa 1923. The baby's name was Helen (nickname Snookems) and she died "mysteriously" not too long after this pic was taken.
5. This is a so-called Glamor shot of me and Miss Pam taken on our first cruise. Inside passage Alaska on the Princess Regal in 1997.

I don't think this is what the OP had in mind, but It's not the first time a thread has been hijacked. This is me; as a country bumpkin, and me as an under-cover city slicker.

Denali Mountain Range from Wonder Lake--last Summer
Locals told us you see the range this clearly about once every couple of years. We got off the NPS bus and hiked the last 15 miles of the road and had this waiting on us. A momma grizzly with two cubs ambled in front of us on the hike. Paid us no more mind than we do a fly.
My then 9 year old in the field.

That's my grandfather standing closest to the camera. My Great-grand parents and some of their other children on the front porch of their Logan County, Ky home. Probably taken about 1916 or so.
Here's my dad with his first wife and her younger sisters. I have always liked this pic.
That's my grandmother (mom's mom) standing on the running board, and my grandfather sitting on the windshield. That's her sister in the front seat. Around 1920.
I took this one at my uncle's place out in the Oklahoma panhandle a few years back. That car's been sitting there a while I reckon.

That's exactly what I had in mind. Everything b/w qualifies
Amazing pictures. Love the old family pictures as well as farm work.
Keep 'em coming, so I can show my kids how luxurious their life is in today's world. And they might appreciate it...

Ok, here's some more:
My dad and I, yay with puppies!
My grandparents with my dad and his older brother (summer 1927)
Looks like my grandma was still carrying my dad. (late '26-early '27)
Dad got grandpa's car a bit muddy, still Mr. Cool though.

I envy everyone that still have photos of their parents and grandparents.They are definitely great reminders of where we came from and how far we've gone.
I would post pictures of my family but the Post Office wont let me take them down and make copies.

Guys, those black&whites were an absolute treat !
Regular gun pictures are great, but, I can go to my sock drawer and see one when I want to. Not so with treasures from the 20s and 30s like you have.
