Your work is amazing ... never seen a quality like this on old vids before
I was wondering if you have the desire to work on restoring old historical moments like this video of the wright brothers flying one of the oldest prototype of a plane
czcams.com/video/-kjRL-Q-KBc/video.html
People will be interested in watching old historic moments like these
How and where did you get this?
Can you please cut off unstable shaky black bars in your videos and make them perfect and even more shareable? It shouldn't be THAT hard, would it?
Fascinating to think that pretty much all the people in this footage have departed this earth but we can share a small moment of their existence and their world thanks to your wonderful efforts in bringing their past to life once more. I’ve said this before but this is the next best thing to having a time machine - bravo 👏👏👏
Weird to think that there was probably a funeral in the last 90 years for almost every person you see in this video.
but all of the children in this video can be really old if they're still alive now
With the truth reincarnation coming out today, you could be one of those people!
@@sansundertale5274 My mom was born in Brooklyn in 1936, so this is about her time. And she's still alive and kicking.
@@kellynch glad to hear that your mom is still alive :) how is she doing now?
This was back when every other man walking down the street was a private detective.
My thought exactly! Like watching any black and white movie from the 30s; suits and hats everywhere!
Or so it seemed because that was the men's fashion at that time.
Fashion in those days.
times have changed
I get god father vibes as i watch this…detectives and mobsters all around
I'm in awe of two things that jump off the page: the cars....so beautiful...and how clean the streets of NY seem to be.
It was so clean and new, nice streets and sidewalks. A pity nowadays, it doesn't look like that anymore.
It's a lot cleaner now than it looked in the 70s/80s, but they still have a waste problem.
Some of these gems are still there.They drove past the Grand Army Plaza, Crown Building, Peninsula, Harry Winston building and few famous churches amongst others. Thanks to Landmark Preservation!
I saw no one on their phones crossing the cross walk - INCREDIBLE!!
lol
Well duh this was back in 1911, there were no cellphones. C'mon man.
@@wwfera00 this was in the 1930s.
Many got hit by cars reading the newspaper while crossing the roads.
People made sure they dressed well even for running errands. Now look at us 😐
I like to put these up on my 65" 4K TV and run them all on a loop as though it's a window to the past. Keep up the killer work!!
Me too.
That would be so cool!
Imagine what people in 2130 will be watching on when they watch footage of NY from today
@@bretts5571 . They'll probably watch this video first then watch a video of our time and wonder why we look like slobs.
I have a 85” 4K smart tv , is that even that big
Your dedication to restore in colour and rectified speed is really awesome.
BETTER THEN NOWADAYS PANTS ON THE GROUND SLOPPY T SHIRTS
The first thing that jumps out when I start watching is the relative civility and calm vibe of NYC vs. now. And then just how clean the streets and sidewalks are... no litter anywhere!
Wonder why? My neighborhood in Baltimore from the 80s is all boarded up now. It's sad.
These are richer neighborhoods/parts of Manhattan. This was also the business center. Brooklyn/Bronx (other Burroughs) in this era would've been a different story. I'm not even sure if they had building codes at this time, a lot of immigrants lived in buildings that were side by side with poor sanitation and there weren't many fire escapes. The Depression would have a big impact on things, but Manhattan was insulated from much of the detriment.
Because the savage-skins hadn't started being dumped into NYC yet. Once all the Whites left NY it went to hell.
Demographics changed as did the people. Needless to say things went to crap.
Your content is basically a time machine window. The sound is also a hard part I imagine, to match the time frame, like the engine of the cars, horns, etc.
Amazing how a remaster like this shortens the gap between 80 years of image capturing technology, bringing such a remote time closer to us.
How do you feel when you take a time off and watch these, do you have some sort of nostalgia or something for these times?
I have mixed feelings watching things that are decades older than me, actually anything from the analogic era, but a few given decades shake me more than others for unknown reasons.
Siempre que veo estas imágenes pienso en mi padre. El nació en 1921 y en ese tiempo sería un jovencito, probablemente un adolescente. Mi padre vivió 100 años, falleció este 27 de setiembre.
@@hezaen Your father and yourself have lived through the best times, hope your okay.
@@darrenhansom4873 Thank God I'm okay. Thanks. Regards from Perú.
Im in my early 30's but my parents had me in their late 30's,my grand parent were born in the 20's.
In another life my grandparents would be in their 60's but they are both gone now.
I lost both by the time I was 20.
Let me tell you how I grew up around my grandparents,a tv and a telephone and one car was all they had.
My grandfather wore black dress pants,black leather shoes and a button up shirt until the day he died.
They lived simple times,they went to work came home cooked dinner,watched tv or went for a drive.
They lived a very simple clutter free life.
Everyone so well dressed, nice to see!
No one would dare admit why this nostalgia truly feels so good but every ok be here's enjoying it consciously or unconsciously for that very reason.
When wandavision aired , I thought that it was exaggerated the way all the characters were so well dressed, how mistaken I was.
idc
Probably only the wealthier.
@i .candy You must’ve skipped this section of American history. If you’re going by something superficial as dress, sure, that’s classy I guess, but when you consider the atrocities committed towards anyone that wasn’t white or a man or with money, then you weren’t treated so classily.
Did you notice how CLEAN the city is? Wonder why…
Right away I noticed a '36 Plymouth Coup ( I owned one as 22 year old back in the late '70s) so this is definitely late '30s.
Thanks for sharing my old stomping ground! Used to go into NYC every weekend when my late father worked around Wall Street and we went to the Downtown Athletic Club and shopped at all the great dept stores back then. Also, lived on the Upper East side in the early 1970s when I worked as a fashion illustrator and loved Bergdorf Goodmans , Bonwit Tellers, Lord and Taylors and B. Altman's department stores! I was born in 1948 and remember when all the subway seats were made of a pale yellow whicker before they went plastic/metal! Fond memories down Memory Lane in the "Big Apple"!
Amazing to think how clean and orderly New York was then.
The film-clip covered the well-off 5th Avenue "jewelcase" area where the people and buildings were all 'upmarket'. Maybe someone with knowledge of the vehicles and buildings can 'date' the clip more precisely: I've never been there but it looks more '40s than '30s to me.
It's the architecture of those buildings that gets my attention....I love this... keep it up....
I did see one
I would like to know where is the exact location then go look at it now to see how much has changed.
@@itsonvideos Fifth Ave. in the 50's.
idk why but whenever i see videos like this I just think "Man every single living thing I am seeing in this video is dead, thats wild"
Yessss
Not necessarily. Jimmy Carter was born 6 years prior.
@@krease7540 He talks specifically about this video. There isn't Jimmy Carter here. There is a little to 0.1 percent that someone is alive from this video. :)
@@alexanderman7140 So you're saying there's a chance... haha
Really important observation, I was thinking just how to them, this was as normal and real as our days are today for us, yet they are so different.
Imagine 100 years before this where horses were just as normal. Time is moving yet it feels still to those in it.
Someday someone will be watching a video of today and it will feel as old as this scene. And we all wont be here anymore :(
it almost looks live! Awesome job. And I've never seen NYC streets and sidewalks look that clean!
As a Dutch Australian international fashion model I came and lived in New York City in 1982-85 and I walked (and biked) 5th Avenue every day. It is so interesting to see 5th Avenue being two way traffic just 50 years before my arrival and that you could do a U turn in those big cars back then. Which year was 5th Avenue changed to one way traffic? Thanks for posting all these amazing videos showing such a different era, and yet not so long ago.
Most of the Avenues were two way then. Fifth Avenue was two way up until early 1960's.
The closest thing to a time machine!
My grandfather was born in 1905...I always wondered what life was like back in his heydays.
Wow so clear and the colors are perfect. You’re a true artist.
Yeah, the colors of yellow taxis are especially good
Another good one Nass. The woman sure did like their furs in that era. I don't think I saw one woman not having a fur stole or collar around her neck. These films you restore would make a great series on PBS. They definitely are a window into the past and perfectly restored. I do believe these films would find an audience beyond CZcams.
thank you very very much bro! look with me at this B&W video I said it's new york 1930s, what are you saying?
archive.org/details/pet1010r1
@@NASS_0 Hi Nass. The video you asked me to watch is New York. I did see in the video a store called Phil Kronfeld. That was a NYC Haberdashery. It's not the 1930's it is early in the 1940's during the War. The lights are all dimmed at night and are blacked out above street level. Notice the cars are not using the full beam headlight. I believe parking lights had to be used, or the headlights had to be partially blacked out with dark tape. My mother grew up in Boston during the War and had a number of stories, about what life was like during the War. I definitely remember her stories about how dark Boston was at night during the War. Hope this helps.
@@bluesky4385 thank you very much bro! I'm going to dedicate you in my next video ;)
@@NASS_0 That's very nice of you. Glad I could help
@@bluesky4385 my brother it's always me you can see this video please? ^^ LA 1940s? archive.org/details/pet986r1la
Love how the cameras noticeable and everyone keeps turning their head.
moving on or something
It's probably the size of a cow lol 😆
that is probably a humongous camera easy to notice, 70 years in the future for cellphones with cameras😎
I was looking for this specific comment lol
Those cameras had the large "Mickey Mouse" film-reel containers which stood out a mile, especially on the back of a pick-up with a crew of two or three people.
There is something almost metaphysical about your uploads...I'm beginning to realize that we don't move through time, it moves through us...
Beautiful words,yes.
The fashion was impeccable during the 1930s
Men looked like killer gangsters. I like it
Yes, and even considering that this was during the Great Depression!
@@GaryGrube1 It's more likely to have been the Forties: the buildings were in the swell end of town, near Central Park, and the pedestrians look well-dressed and well-fed.
SOPHISCATED AND PROUD
OMG this is unbelievable...!!!!!!!!!!! AND so Incredible!!!!!!!!!
I came across these videos on CZcams and for reasons I have yet to figure out... these videos brought out a lot of emotions for me for many different reasons. Maybe because of the simpler way of life and the way things were back then... it literally brought tears to my eyes.... I wish I was able to somehow time travel back to these times and just witness everything as it was back then... Thank you sooooooooo much for these videos...!!!!!
A decade when people still had class!
MORE THEN A DECADE
Your work is simply amazing. I am speechless when I see this window into the past. Please never stop!
Your channel is my new favorite! These are incredible! As a historian, these are absolute gems!
Even during a depression, beautiful cars, beautifully dressed people and a beautiful city. And today...............
Long lines for soup and jobs were common - people living in the streets; plenty of available pictures/videos to show that part
@@Prismet I'd imagine there's even more in the streets today plus we have the good old EBT to avoid those bread lines.
Well, that looked like 5th or Madison Ave....never made it up to Central Park to see the growing village of "Hoovervilles". Even rich people that lost 90% were still rich. If your net value was $10 million , you were still a millionaire after losing nearly all of it..
@@jeffneptune2922 a millionaire in 1930. Gee, that would be crazy already, you'd surely have at least 7 homes.
Porque tudo isso foi dado ao ser humano pelo Criador. Era perfeito,não existia posto de gasolina.A energia vinha do ar. Algo aconteceu e perdemos a graça de Deus.
My God, look how CLEAN those streets are.
The road surface is so smooth, the streets & buildings are so clean and everybody is dressed smartly. Where did things go so wrong?
It said at the beginning it wasn't historically accurate
The hippies in the sixties

I absolutely love these! Thank you so much 😊
Thank you so much for this work. I can't explain it. But I find myself ALWAYS wondering what it was really like to live before the past eras. This is the closest I will ever get to time travel an I'm thankful for this.
This amazing and amazing video of yours moved me especially. It makes the viewer, literally peek through this special window of time.
See the elegance of yesteryear at its best. You really made me want to jump into the imagination of the New York of yesteryear, through the time tunnel, maybe one day I'll get to visit today's New York. A warm welcome from Tiberias in Israel.
This is absolutely awesome to have view back in time 😌 I love these videos too! You should visit N.Y. someday.
Amazing footage thank you. I wonder how many famous mobster's we have just witnessed going about their everyday business, Charlie Luciano, mayer lansky, bugsy seigel, Albert Anastasia etc wore all at the peak of their power then, especially Luciano. The styles of the cars and people are impeccable.
The South had Bonnie and Clyde 👍
I am literally in awe thank you 💕💕
That car flying through the intersection at 0:33 really set the pace for today's new york traffic patterns
Also at 4:56.
Flawless! Beautiful work. Thanks so much.
WOW amazing film great job of remastering it well done love it
Brilliant, all men with hats and very well dressed. I can still remember that my grandpa used to go outside all day in a hat and suit.
No one would dare admit why this nostalgia truly feels so good but every ok be here's enjoying it consciously or unconsciously for that very reason.
That is truly wonderful work. A few observations:
Taxis not yellow. They do say that colours might not be entirely accurate so maybe they were yellow - would need to find a colour photo from the time
"Suicide doors on the taxis" - Man holds door for woman around 00:23
People window-shopping in small windows at about 01:03 - I thought they were ATMs 🙂
Well dressed people - affluent. This either during the Great Depression or just as it was ending.
Spacecraft Shop @ 2:58 to 3:01.
Almost no advertising.
Before US cars became staggeringly ugly! The taxis are quite attractive.
Early spring judging from trees and coats being worn
The quality of this is incredible. I keep expecting Don Corleone to pull over and ask me if I want a ride to the causeway.
Fabulous! Thanks! Love the clothes and the cars. They all looked so stylish.
Appreciate your efforts. Thank you. Shared. - Neo
I wonder how did you got these videos man? It’s interesting that l’m seeing a clear shot of the 1930’s. Wow! 😳
I love this videos, thanks for uploading.
Seems all the cars had the same basic design on the front. So glad someone took the the time to record things like this!
so clean and safe. not a single PC worrier / criminal in sight. homogeneous and harmonious
Amazing! Almost 100 years ago….crazy thing is, the more things change, the more they stay the same!
I subscribed you work is amazing
For the people that live in NY must be so cool to recognize some of these buildings
It still very much looks the same except the stores have changed and Fifth Avenue stopped two way traffic about 1964 ish.
I do and I do. One interesting thing: the height of the Central Park trees. The park then looks quite sparse compared to today's denser arboreal display.
@@arthurboehm So true Arthur. So does the traffic.
As a new yorker I agree, but some of the buildings along 5th ave have been replaced with ugly glass buildings.
@@NewPSCity More along the forties and fifties midtown Fifth Avenue. It's a shame they tore down the old Savoy Hotel in mid-1960's to build the GM Building at 59TH Street. Perhaps it would be exorbitant condos like The Plaza. The hotel lasted only about forty years like the original Waldorf-Astoria at 5TH and 34TH where the Empire State Building stands since 1931. 1893-1929. Too bad The Astor and The Claridge in Times Square met the wrecking ball in mid-1960's and the Claridge in early 1970's. I agree with your comment Alex.
Уже 3 или 4 ролик смотрю и эта тишина….кто-то скажет раньше зовут не так качественно записывали. А я отвечу вам что так тихо на самом деле и было! Красота!
Even the modern buildings back then were good-looking: today's glass-box 'architecture' defaces the environment.
Note the buses seen in this clip: they were a rear-engined design that dated from about 1934 and were pioneers of this type: they ran in N.Y.C. and Chicago from the late '30s to the early '50s. One New York example may still exist.
It does ! The double decker bus of the 5th Avenue coach company of 1936 at the New York Transit Museum bus fleet in some bus depot in Brooklyn.
@@luislaplume8261 They had started dismantling it 'for restoration' some years ago and the 'trail went cold': maybe they abandoned the restoration.
по моему это электро-автобусы!
Amazing looking at the people physically. So many fewer people obese and/or overweight. Smartly dressed... Love these historical time frame video snapshots
New York is a very walkable city and still is even today. The people who are there still have below-average American sized waistlines probably for this exact reason.
Most of these people are long gone and forgotten.
In a hundred years, we'll also be long gone and forgotten.
Well aren't you the bearer of good news sunshine

That's reality - just like trump's loss.
Just like Biden is your president. LOL!
Cope!
Bergdorf Goodman when it was only one store front. Takes up the entire block now.
@NASS amazing job as always. Could you do similar remastered videos from 30s or say 50s Stockholm or Helsinki, my region see ;) I dont have any videos to give but somebody certainly have
Ijust wanna jump through the tv and in to this car.
Now, who is with me? 😁
Thanks NASS!
Invite me, I will go with you!! ☺️
Need this in 360 video with VR glasses
No one would dare admit why this nostalgia truly feels so good but every ok be here's enjoying it consciously or unconsciously for that very reason.
How scary that would be , imagine living in that day and age where none of your loved ones exist , imagine those people looking at you like :0 wtf is this, who the hell are you, and what the hell that thing that you carry in your hands is? Are you an alien?
Sad to know, all of the people we see here, are already dead
love this stuff!!
Bravo!! Ottimo lavoro!!👏
Reminds me of the movie 'Pleasantville'. The NY depicted here is a world away from the den of iniquity I witnessed when first visited NY in 1979.
Amazing! Thank you
Congrats. Great work. We know each of these buildings on Fifth Avenue so very well, and have been inside each of them. It’s like traveling back in time almost a hundred years ago and seeing these people walk the same sidewalks we walk on today. Thanks for sharing.
thank you very much ;)
Thanks for making a dream come true for THEME Cities. Where every city is a different era of time.
Chulisimo!!!. It's a winter day beautiful.
From Spain. 👏👏👏👏
So clean and white.
1:35 That white taxi at the signal light is a 1935 DeSoto. It goes in and out of frame pretty quick but comes back passing on the right @ 1:49 .
maybe it was another car on 1:49
I love your Channel, ♥ love greets from German
thank you very much
Superb video👍👍
Anyone else see the accident that almost happened? It begins at time 4:53. It's a few blocks south of Central Park.
Fifth Ave went in both directions back then. A vehicle is coming uptown (behind the camera and from the right) at a pretty good rate of speed. A second vehicle then came from the left, possibly from E.56th toward 5th Ave. The second vehicle almost hit the first one going uptown, but the first vehicle swerved to the right to miss the one coming from the left. There's another vehicle obstructing our view, but you can still see it all happening.
Take a look for yourselves.
Yes, and from what I could see NO ONE flipped each other off. 🙂
Nice job, dude.
very good job. thanks.
Fantastic quality .
Great video! Would like to see a video of the 22nd century
These videos are so fascinating! It’s a snap shot of people going about their business - like I wonder where were they going? What were they doing? What were their lives like? Something to surreal about it
What a video!! hey, someone has told you sometime something like "hey.. there is my grandpa..." or something like that?
What a time to be alive, hate to see everybody walking with his/her phone, watching this from my phone😞
the city looks fantastic and clean. Wish they kept the double deck bus; they look so grand.
That's awesome. Makes me wish I had a time machine
Wow...all those old cars - Pierce Arrow in the beginning, Rolls-Royce, lots of Checker cabs, and at 4:52 you see an 8 door vehicle passing to the right. Fascinating to watch. I could watch these old scenes all day.
une belle vidéo sur le passé merci à vous
Excellent!
Great! I can’t help thinking it’s perhaps a little bit too fast, the footage? I’d love to see it a tiny bit slower.
Everything looks so clean and nice, sad to think how it’s demised 😔
A lot of people in the streets on this video. I guess there was safety all around. Also, people so well-dressed. This is a nice video.
Люди были стройные и очень прилично, добротно одетые.
Very nice! I can't imagine hearing footsteps in this environment though.
Just wonderful thank you 💕💕🇬🇧
thank you
Thats amazing!
Nice to see how they got the speed thing right. Sometimes in these old films the people walk like those Olympic walkers.
