None of the slides in this set were labeled or dated. At least three out of four appear to have been taken on Christmas morning (not 100% sure about the one with the cat). My best guess is that these photos are from close to 1970. The TV looks older than that but there's no reason bo believe it is a brand new TV. The record that can be seen on the couch is an album called NOW! by Cliff Barrows with the Kurt Kaiser Singers. I had a surprisingly hard time finding a release date for that but the one estimate I found said 1970. That guy in the first photo looks pretty excited to be opening "Skittle-Bowl". I guess that's the kind of games people got for Christmas before the video game age? I had to look up Skittle-Bowl to see what it was. It is a table top bowling game that is played by swinging a small wooden ball around a pole (attached by a chain), sort of tether ball like, to hit small wooden pins.
