Love the old-time photo at 1:46 showing women building radios. Never any static for viewers of historic photos at The Time Then.

The good old day , looking cool 😎

Very interesting. Thank you for sharing.

❤the first pic

Beat you by THIS much David!😊

I've got a ton of old pics, both of family & random unknown people. (Buy from yard sales, flea markets, & consignment shops) I started collecting any I could find after my Grandma passed away, 5 years ago. Even have a few that's on a thick papyrus/scroll-like type paper. Think those were taken with one of those cameras that ya had to hold this stick in air & an actual FLASH would come out of it ??? Idk what its actually called & most likey not what I'm referring to but still so fascinating!!

Wow! Amazing to see that pic of 1848! No traffic jams there! 😅. Fascinating insight into yesteryears so thanks Time! 😊

Brilliant video,love seeing these old photos 👍💯

Very good video 👍 👏

European history is on paintings … American history is on photographs… what does that tell you

1st man it is jiraiya sensei 😊

Absolutely awesome and incredibly iconic.

I want to let you know how much I love and appreciate your historical photo compilations. Viewing one of your 8’19” videos is the last thing, literally, that I do each day before lights out. I feel an emotional connection to those street scenes, architectural views, people portraits, and industrial shots; to the enormity of people’s struggles to not only exist but to do so with a little elan. It puts my mind at some peace and respite at the end of my day. So…thank you so much for your daily contribution to my life. I don’t know if you’re able to say, but I’d love to know where you gather all these shots from and what archives you have access to. I, personally, slightly prefer pix from a little later than 1930, but then I also like seeing the more distant historical shots back to even the Civil War era. So, don’t change anything! 😁

1:30 George C. Tilyou, creator of Steeplechase Park at Coney Island, went to visit the World's Columbian Exposition in Chicago on his honeymoon. Tilyou wanted to buy the fair's 250-foot-diameter (76 m) Ferris wheel, which contained 36 cars that could each fit 60 passengers. However, that attraction had already been sold, so he built a half-size version on Coney Island at Surf Avenue.  Tilyou's Ferris wheel, erroneously dubbed the "World's Largest Ferris Wheel", contained 12 cars each with a capacity of 18 passengers. The attraction became one of the most popular on Coney Island, and Tilyou began adding other rides and attractions, which at first operated separately.

2024! We have come a long way, however thousands of patents have been bought up to keep us slaves to the gas and oil companies!

Absolutely awesome. fabulous fantastic, incredibly iconic, simply superb and totally terrific.

2:28...Hard to look at Hitch with hair. 4:08 Dont know if that tree is still there,but apartment buildings across the street put bleachers on their roofs & charged to watch from there. Now theres talk of tearing them down. 😢 🙏❤😊

0:54 My dad was stationed on Attu Island during WWII. First time seeing the village.

Neat video

Enjoyed! Thank you for sharing these old photos.

Thanks for the cheering, Neal. I salute you for being the first to post a comment. Keep smiling, my CZcams friend.

The old-time photo at 1:13 showing Nepalese porters carrying a Mercedes across a stream is highly interesting. I never have to do any heavy lifting when I want to enjoy wonderful historic photos as I simply tune into The Time Then.

Come David catch up!😊

Camera is a time machine

They seriously put on a cable and called it a day XD

We appreciate how well you've articulated your insights. Keep doing your best.

Video calls in 1960s 😮

I didn't know the wheels were from the 30s! Thought they were the last decade or so 😂😂🎉

Cool photos, esp Flatiron

I really enjoy these pictures but couldn't read the caption

7:10..Such a massive shame, so much art lost. I would hope steps have been taken to prevent this from happening again. 🙏❤😊

Thank you, sweetheart. You take me back to my childhood 😊

.43..Those wheels look like a lot of fun. 🙏❤😊

Totally terrific.

I have seen some of these photos previously but enjoyed seeing them again as they are absolutely awesome and simply superb. I appreciate the hard work you do seven days a week posting wonderful historic photos we get to view for free.
