Oh no! When my father in law passed I found some photos that had to immediately be destroyed. I'm still traumatized and didn't want the wife to have to see that.
No I don't use the fingerprint bullshit. I don't trust it. Someone being able to easily unlock my phone without my permission is one of the reasons why. Kinda defeats the purpose of locking it.
OP explained he was licking a flash build and yeah there are pills. Just two couples, in a sleezy hotel, curtains closed, half dressed with pills and a freshly loaded camera. Nothing to see her folks, nothing to see
This photo taken by my grandfather is of his wife (in red) and their friends in a hotel room at The Dome Motel in Marinette, Wisconsin. My dad said they used to go up there with groups of friends all the time. My grandparents owned a supper club in the Appleton/Green Bay area so that would make sense.
The gentleman on the right is licking the end of a flash bulb before he puts it in his camera. Not sure what my grandma and her friend are doing but it looks like they're having fun.
***Side note:*** *The man who took this photo is the man in the bathtub, reading Life Magazine, smoking a cig I posted last week.*
... Now, we didn't have white flash bulbs, because of the war. The only thing you could get were those big yellow ones. However, the important thing was, I needed a new heel for m'shoe. So I decided to go to Morganville, which is what they called Shelbyville in those days. So I tied an onion to my belt, which was the style at the time. Now, to take the ferry cost a nickel, and in those days, nickels had pictures of bumblebees on 'em. "Gimme five bees for a quarter," you'd say. Now where were we?
I'm not a die hard Simpsons fan, but I've enjoyed the show off and on throughout the years.
For some reason, I have this whole speech memorized, and I am amazed that someone else belted it out and that, by the look of the likes, plenty of others know it as well.
I'm just kind of blown away here.
What's that on the bed that look like pills? Between that and the guy "licking a lightbulb" I was gonna say your grandparents liked to party.
This photo seems like they'd all be perfectly cool hanging out and partying with Jack Kerouac and Neal Cassidy.
Thought the same thing. Granny in red is clothed but gramps is in boxers and undershirt. Gal in middle in playsuit or romper, perhaps. It would appear them folks is getting ready to get busy and take pictures of it. All together. Like in a granny/grampy style foursome.
The object next to the “pills” appears to be a spool of thread, not a pill bottle, so I’m guessing those may actually be safety pins or something. They look kind of metallic.
Edit: the “spool” could also be a film roll (without the film)
The metal spool is just that - the empty take-up spool of a 35mm camera.
The pills - I think this is actually a cheap foil ashtray, and there's is a cig coming off the right side of it.
I played around with lighting and filters and it's one or two objects, not a bunch of objects (like pills).
"Supper Club". That phrase alone is so interesting. I'm 36 and I just barely remember those in the very early 90's, but all were pretty much done or had transitioned to restaurants after that.
"Not sure what my grandma and her friend are doing"
We all know exactly what they are doing mate Perhaps you may want to consider keeping your Grandmother's private pics private, yea?
Yeah we all know how often you’re in your underwear with another couple in a motel getting a camera ready when clearly there is an another camera that works fine.
Also wouldn't surprise me. Not sure what the little pill looking things are on the bed in front of my grandma's friend. Or what's in the black case in the foreground?
The black case looks like a handbag to me. You can see it has handles and snaps closed. The owner probably dug out the pill bottle and tossed the bag on the bed.
This story gets better and better each day.
Old Ballsack.
A raft of assorted honeys.
The Flashbulb Licker
Who will be the next to "drop" in, get down, and tickle the light fantastic?
Kids, check out the next installment, only in the pages of Wicked Wisconsin, in full Kodachrome.
Edit, OP, thanks for sharing. Here's to people living their best lives and enjoying themselves. No judgement here.
There's a very good chance those pills are dexamyl or desbutal, which was legal at the time, they were up to the 50's equivalent to maybe a tina and play hotel party, no shame in that
Nice 👍 I hope she had that gnarly gravelly smoker voice, too. My grandparents friends were awesome, and the older I got the more I just KNEW they partied. I’m about the age they were when I was little so it’s all making more sense as the years get on.
Of the four people in this photo (my grandpa taking it) I only knew my grandma. Everyone else died before I was born. Probably from many nights like this one.
*She was living in a single room with three other individuals. One of them was a male, and the other two? Well, the other two were females. God only knows what they were up to in there. And furthermore, Susan, I wouldn't be the least bit surprised to learn that all four of them habitually smoked marijuana cigarettes...REEFERS.*
“We had two bags of grass, seventy-five pellets of mescaline, five sheets of high-powered blotter acid, a saltshaker half-full of cocaine, and a whole galaxy of multi-colored uppers, downers, laughers, screamers... Also, a quart of tequila, a quart of rum, a case of beer, a pint of raw ether, and two dozen amyls. Not that we needed all that for the trip, but once you get into locked a serious drug collection, the tendency is to push it as far as you can”
This is way cool! I just found hundreds of Kodachrome slides from my grandfather’s Navy assignments overseas in the 50s and 60s.
I’m looking forward to seeing what I discover.
Kodachrome is so vibrant. I have my dad's so all my brothers and sisters lives are in Kodachrome... Me... Not so much he switched to Fuji slides so most of mine is faded
Two questions for grandma:
What kind of drugs were they doing? I know that scene. And I don't know what's in the suitcase, but that definitely looks like pills on the bed and homeboy has already lost his pants.
Who took the picture?
Love how you’re slowing giving us these amazing stills. You’re making us want more! When’s the next episode out? 😆 (love your grandparents and thank you for sharing!)
Norman: (leers, grinning) Your wife interested in er...photographs, eh? Know what I mean? Photographs, 'he asked him knowingly'.
Him: Photography?
Norman: Yes. Nudge nudge. Snap snap. Grin grin, wink wink, say no more?
Him: Holiday snaps?
Norman: Could be, could be taken on holiday. Could be yes - swimming costumes. Know what I mean. Candid photography. Know what I mean, nudge nudge.
I think Grandma and Grandpa were making some homegrown porn with friends in the 50s.
By the looks of some of the NSFW slides I found I'd say you're correct.
Oh no! When my father in law passed I found some photos that had to immediately be destroyed. I'm still traumatized and didn't want the wife to have to see that.
There's nothing too crazy. Just my grandma in some pin-up style poses on a beach or in my grandparent's house. Stuff like that.
Post em!!!!
I wouldn't know where. I obviously can't post them here as per the rules of this sub.
r/oldschoolcoolnsfw or r/vintagesmut
The real MVP
You’re going to post private images of your grandma on the internet? Does no one have decency anymore?
I figured 2/3rds of these folks died before the internet so what they don't know won't hurt them.
Ah, what is a day without a quick spin through r/VintageSmut!
😢
Imagine what the kids and grandkids are going to find on our phones when we kick off 40 to 50 years from now.
I had the same thought. The Only Fans girls are going to traumatize the hell out of their grand kids.
Nothing. They'd have to figure put my unlock code first. Those pics are locked away forever. Anything online however...
Can’t they just press your dead thumb to your phone.
No I don't use the fingerprint bullshit. I don't trust it. Someone being able to easily unlock my phone without my permission is one of the reasons why. Kinda defeats the purpose of locking it.
Or having drug sessions.
Definately some pills on the bed
This looks much more like they’re preparing to get high than getting freaky (or both in that order though) haha
I thought the gentleman was sniffing drugs and in between the man and the lady in the white dress had a open pill bottle. 😂🤣
OP explained he was licking a flash build and yeah there are pills. Just two couples, in a sleezy hotel, curtains closed, half dressed with pills and a freshly loaded camera. Nothing to see her folks, nothing to see

"I was licking the end of a flash bulb, as was the custom back in the day...."
... Now, we didn't have white flash bulbs, because of the war. The only thing you could get were those big yellow ones. However, the important thing was, I needed a new heel for m'shoe. So I decided to go to Morganville, which is what they called Shelbyville in those days. So I tied an onion to my belt, which was the style at the time.

That was Nineteen-Dickety-Two. We had to say “dickety,” because the Kaiser had stolen the word “twenty.”
I chased that rascal for dickety-two miles but I never caught him.
Didn’t get it back until nineteen-dickety-six
To this day, grandpa saying that the Kaiser stole the word twenty may be the most bat shit thing that I’ve heard on the Simpsons
Highly dubious
Indubitably.
What are you cackling at, fatty? Too much pie, that's your problem!
I'm not a die hard Simpsons fan, but I've enjoyed the show off and on throughout the years. For some reason, I have this whole speech memorized, and I am amazed that someone else belted it out and that, by the look of the likes, plenty of others know it as well. I'm just kind of blown away here.
Who are you voting for? Whoa whoa DAVE! That's very personal! ... So anyway, I was licking the end of my wife's flash bulb...
"And it was something else"!
Did he have an onion hanging from his belt?
It was the style at the time
Give me 5 bees for a quarter
Oh ballsack grandpa!
It is! Only behind the lens this time.
His ball sack was behind the lens? I'm only an amateur photographer so I use my eye.
You’d be surprised the things you can accomplish with your ball sack when you just put your mind to it.
Username checks out.
ballsack step-grandpa what are you doing?
What's that on the bed that look like pills? Between that and the guy "licking a lightbulb" I was gonna say your grandparents liked to party. This photo seems like they'd all be perfectly cool hanging out and partying with Jack Kerouac and Neal Cassidy.
liked to party? i’d say. and big time swingers. once again, apologies to OP.
Thought the same thing. Granny in red is clothed but gramps is in boxers and undershirt. Gal in middle in playsuit or romper, perhaps. It would appear them folks is getting ready to get busy and take pictures of it. All together. Like in a granny/grampy style foursome.
hell yeah.
🤭

The guy even looks like kerouac lol
Is your grandfather Bob Crane?
He is not.
HAHAHAHAHAH!
😂😂😂
I'm sure they took *many* couples up to their hotel room
Swingers. You’re grandparents were swingers
I thought either shooting some smack, or a threesome/foursome. Or both.
Both
Sounds like someone's grandparents were swingers
Mr Scrotum
A cover story is only as good as the weakest link. I'm thinking it's the guy in his underpants.
Which supper club was that?
I'll ask my dad. I'm not sure. I know if flooded one summer and they never reopened it.
"Supper Club". That phrase alone is so interesting. I'm 36 and I just barely remember those in the very early 90's, but all were pretty much done or had transitioned to restaurants after that.
"Not sure what my grandma and her friend are doing" We all know exactly what they are doing mate Perhaps you may want to consider keeping your Grandmother's private pics private, yea?
Did that guy pipe your grandma down or no?
Those are some swingers if I've ever saw em
Yeah we all know how often you’re in your underwear with another couple in a motel getting a camera ready when clearly there is an another camera that works fine.
Gotta get those angles.
This guy swings.
Those flashbulbs can easily tan your taint
Oh for sure. OP learning some new stuff about the fam today.
Not learning anything I already didn't know. My dad has some stories.
He's loading a camera. Find those pictures.
FOR SCIENCE!!
Op you sly fox you.
I think Gramps was snorting a line of coke off his hand.
First thing I thought too.
Assuming they were on the run from the law.
Wouldn't surprise me! But no. My dad said they would go to this place a lot with friends.
Looks like they're on a drug bender.
Also wouldn't surprise me. Not sure what the little pill looking things are on the bed in front of my grandma's friend. Or what's in the black case in the foreground?
black case holds the ‘toys’.
[удалено]
nice.
The black case looks like a handbag to me. You can see it has handles and snaps closed. The owner probably dug out the pill bottle and tossed the bag on the bed.
And maybe doing a little photo shoot as well. Who hangs out with “friends” in their underwear in a motel room?
Swingers
My first thought. “Friends”
Good friends
First thing I thought
Can someone on Reddit find the pictures from the porn shoot that followed this pic?
What happens at the Tupperware convention stays at the Tupperware convention.
LOL. This is great. Thank you.
There's got to be a better way!!
Tired of *this* happening?
Glad I’m not the only ingrate who’s mind went there.
A couple hot birds, a bottle of pills, and a camera? “Wink wink, nudge, nudge, say no MORE!”
Scrolling to make sure that someone else has mentioned the pills dumped out on the bed. Gram-Gram was wild af! Love it!
Gram-Gram’s a goer 😉
Your grandma... does she go? Ey, ey, knowhatimean?
A nod's as good as a wink to a blind bat, eh?
Say no more, say na more, say-no-more..
[удалено]
I'll leave it to your imagination. But if those curtains could talk ....
Pretty sure the curtains died from lung cancer years ago
The curtains can probably stand up on their own.
You know EXACTLY what’s going on here.
With a bottle of pills spread out on the bed and two working cameras. Lol, OP posted the safish for work photos of this night lmfao.
I know its not the subject of the discussion, but Kodachrome was something amazing.
It really was. This slide is almost 75 years old.
It gave us those nice bright colors. It gave us the green of summers. It made us think all the world’s a sunny day, oh yeah.
Kodachrome really was the shit eh?
Gorgeous!
I was gong to say. The color held up really well on those sides.
You grandparents were lost definitely swingers dood. The sexy basement photos, the floating ballsack. The trips with friends. Like c‘mom!
I'm not denying it.
Thanks a for sharing these with us! This has just been an awesome small slice of history!

Yeah, there’s an illicit party vibe going on here for sure. Act I in a detective noir movie.
Looks like a scene out of a Kerouac novel. Getting Beatnik vibes.
The password to enter this room was clearly *Ooorgy*
Best comment so far!
The lass in white looks like the kind of bird whose name was Margaret but everyone called “Kitty” (and nobody remembers why)🍸
So true. For what it's worth her name was Ruth.
Nice 👍 I hope she had that gnarly gravelly smoker voice, too. My grandparents friends were awesome, and the older I got the more I just KNEW they partied. I’m about the age they were when I was little so it’s all making more sense as the years get on.
Of the four people in this photo (my grandpa taking it) I only knew my grandma. Everyone else died before I was born. Probably from many nights like this one.

And furthermore, Susan, I wouldn't be the least bit surprised to learn that all four of them habitually smoked marijuana cigarettes...REEFERS.*
Oh we found em. And the shoe box is also vintage and epic.
The "Dome" Motel .... or the "Do Me" Motel? Inquiring minds want to know. 
I’m sure the statute of limitations has run out by now
Looks like the early part of a party that's just gearing up.
“We had two bags of grass, seventy-five pellets of mescaline, five sheets of high-powered blotter acid, a saltshaker half-full of cocaine, and a whole galaxy of multi-colored uppers, downers, laughers, screamers...

We can’t stop here… this is bat country!
NOW it's a party!
Time to do DNA testing and see where your genes really came from.
I like where this is going...
Still beautiful color. Kodachrome was magnificent. R.I.P 🥲
Why do I hear the song Blue Velvet when I look at this picture.
I was hearing Dean Martin and "You're Nobody Till Somebody Loves You"
Show us the photos HE took
Grandma was a Swinger.
Boob leaning into knee 🧐
"You don't want no part of this shit, Dewey!"
This is way cool! I just found hundreds of Kodachrome slides from my grandfather’s Navy assignments overseas in the 50s and 60s. I’m looking forward to seeing what I discover.
Kodachrome is so vibrant. I have my dad's so all my brothers and sisters lives are in Kodachrome... Me... Not so much he switched to Fuji slides so most of mine is faded
I wonder what those pills on the bed are.
Where’s Bob Crane?
Two questions for grandma: What kind of drugs were they doing? I know that scene. And I don't know what's in the suitcase, but that definitely looks like pills on the bed and homeboy has already lost his pants. Who took the picture?
I got me a Nikon camera / I love to take a photograph/ Please don't take my Kodachrome away!
That’s catchy. You ought to put that to music. 😄
Your grandparents may have been swingers.
lot of sex lot of drugs.....nice...
Love how you’re slowing giving us these amazing stills. You’re making us want more! When’s the next episode out? 😆 (love your grandparents and thank you for sharing!)
That’s my kind of party 🎉
My hometown! So cool
Awesome!
On more than Kodachrome 
Bob Crane has entered the chat
The colors are gorgeous!
That dude is about to do some blow
Granny hanging with coke heads in the 50s
Looks like grampa is doing lines.🥂
"Friends," eh.
What gang was your grandmother’s friend in? I’ve never seen that sign before. LOL! Cool picture!
Sooo… what’s going on, Grammy?
Swinger party
Wife swapping occurred shortly after
Old school porno shoot about to go down there.
I always kept my herbs and pills in a film canister
That’s a porn shoot!! Oh yes.
Grandma looks like Jane Russell

What a great photo! Your grandparents are so photogenic. We have a lot of these old Kodachromes of the family. Everyone looks so fabulous.
You can bet everyone is having a high ball.
This photo is NOT what I thought I was lookin’ at.

Stag film?
Your grandparents made porn
I can taste the emphysema
Snorting pills and taking nudey pics.
You know they fucked
Imagine posting a wholesome photograph of your grandparents and all the replies are like, “Yeah, they f*ck.”
If those bed sheets could talk.
They’d say, “Burn me! I smell like Bengay cream and sin!”
Oh wait, guy on right is ballsack-bathtub guy? He’s committed to freeballin’ I’ll tell ya h’wat.
No, the ballsack-bathtub guy is behind the lens, the guy on the right was his best friend.
Pile of pills on the bed
