It does help if you recognise historical figures and when certain sporting events happen

DeanElderberry · 19/11/2024 14:47

'when certain sporting events happen' does mean at least that sometimes I'm wrong by multiples of four years.

There are always so many things in consideration - young women who always wore girdles taking them off, shape of motor cars, absence of pink clothes for children, a machine gun motor-tricycle what the actual!?!

@DeanElderberry if you recognise US Presidents, technology. Also a few photos past few weeks have been 2020-22 due to face masks.

Yes - the face masks are always a very strong hint. I'm reasonably good at dating vehicles - but do sometimes struggle with 'wrong war' syndrome 🤣.

DeanElderberry · 22/11/2024 12:11

Presence or absence of mobile phones, types of same. Straightened hair is another one, hairstyles generally (I like old B&W movies, which sometimes helps). Yes to face masks. I'm getting a bit better at cars from ca 1940 on.

And always zoom in - that factory visit one yesterday that in one way could have been any time from 1930 on, but a picture in the background had floppy-hatted, bare-midriffed, bellbottom-trousered young women admiring a big TV set and they got me within two years. Still not sure whether the man with the natty suit and cufflinks under his overall in that one was Nicolae Ceausescu. Certainly looked a bit like him.

Grumpyoldpersonwithcats · 22/11/2024 13:13

I like the pictures of streets with theatres or cinemas. Very often what they are showing is a very accurate guide to the year.

Notyouthful · 22/11/2024 13:19

Some countries’ fashion sense is way behind. It was about two months ago where it was a photo in Poland. Guessed 1978 and it was 1994!

Women's fashions can be so much more helpful in dating a photo than men's. Men's clothes seem to have changed very slowly over the years. I try to use the quality and clarity of the image as a clue too, but this is sometimes very misleading!

Notyouthful · 22/11/2024 16:47

Men wearing hats for office jobs declined dramatically after WW2.

Ladies wearing hats with flowers and bows was early 20thC. Ladies wearing cloche hats (flat at back brim at front - look at the young Queen Mother) were 1920s/early 30s

DeanElderberry · 22/11/2024 17:24

Marcel waves aren't a tight marker but do get you to a decade. Things that look as though they might relate to prohibition. The shape of the heels of women's shoes can be useful,
