SCA photos from 1977

[mikekn]

Here is an interesting item which came up in one of my eBay searches. 40 b/w photos from an SCA event in 1977:

I'm not going to bid on it, since it isn't an East Kingdom event, but I thought folks might like to see the listing.

The gent with the heater is "Dominic the Sober". Heraldry works.

Cool. I wonder how many we could ID in the pictures that aren't posted.

Just noticed that there is a bid on them - and it's from someone we know, so maybe we'll get to see them all :)

still cool to see though. Thanks for the link

I'd be very, very interested to see a video from that time (even though it was way too expensive at the time for home users). Even watching styles from five years ago is fascinating.

That would be cool. I have a few videos, but nothing that old - I think Pennsic XX is the oldest. If you want, the next time you're down here I can dig them out.

yay history....so does the EK have old photos like this???

[mikekn]

Only a few. I should probably put them all in a photo album of some sort.

LOL fantastic. It makes me recall my own early days in the late 80s. Things hadn't necessarily changed a lot by then - the trend towards uber-authenticity hadn't begun and artisans and merchants providing more, better, more varied wares hadn't happened.
