Does anyone know of a source for old, faded, cracked photos (like from the 20’s – 40’s) I can use for a restoration project for a class? Thanks.

These are quite often seen in junk/antique stores, along with old postcards. Not that I’ve ever been tempted…

🙁 Where were you last November when a local ‘antique’ place threw away a box of old pictures. Well, that’s where you might check – junque shops.

I’ve been tempted to add things to those junk collections – you know, sneak it out of my coat, stuff it in. What can they do?

Are you looking for the actual photos themselves, or would scans of old photos suffice? I do photo restoration myself and I have plenty of old photos I have scanned and then fixed up. If a scan is fine, how "bad" do you need them to be? I have images ranging from a little shabby to disastrous!

Scans would be perfect – anything from bad to really bad
