The Micheal Leone Collection

This amazing collection of photos was recently donated to the Schuylkill Navy and has now been digitized. The photos were taken by Michael Leone, now deceased, circa 1940. I have the original slides and they are all stamped "Leone & Johnston, 1918 Moore St., Phila, PA". Many have handwritten comments, some identifying people in the photos.

Michael's grand nephew, who lives in Florida, contacted me by email to see if we were interested in them. I went to the home of Michael's younger brother, John, age 90, who lives not far from me. John is quite a character. I spent an hour and had a great time. War stories, photo stories, totally unrelated stories.

Enjoy the photos. We're working on making the entire collection available with options to purchase.
