I was fresh out of college at a pet food QA lab in the ‘90s and they had a calendar on the wall of a topless Pamela Anderson.

This looks older than 1940... I would say 1900-1920

I had a box full of similar from my grandparents. As much as it pained me, I ended up throwing them away because no one in my family knew who they were and we have too much…stuff already.

Reminds me of the mid-70s high school job I had at a friend's dad's tire recap factory. There was a Playboy centerfold prominently displayed in the bathroom. Never happen today

Here the the opportunity for you to have interesting and illustrious ancestors. As suggested here, make detailed and wild stories about who they are. Connect them with other photos of unknown people.

There's was not a happy marriage. But what it lacked in joy it made up for in efficiency and routine.

I think this is earlier that 1940 - maybe 1920. The headpiece the bride is wearing looks really similar to the one in the wedding photo of my great-grandma, who was married in 1919.
I save all the family photos, even the ones I don't know. I can't bear to get rid of them. I wonder if you could dig through your family tree and see how many direct relatives you have that were married ca 1920, maybe by process of elimination you can figure it out.

Make a visit to the library. Some have or know digitising services. Do that and maybe 10, 20, 100 years from now others will be able to see it.

I make up back stories for them. She slowly poisoned him with arsenic and inherited his horse meat packing fortune before dying herself in a tragic dirigible accident.

I looked at sold listing on ebay for vintage photos, it seems to me there is a market for it, but it appears a lot of it depends on the content of the photo.

My grandmother passed away two years ago from brain cancer. I’m helping my grandfather go through photos. He doesn’t know anything about the people pictured. I don’t want to destroy them but I also don’t know what to do with them. Any advice is appreciated.

I worked in a research lab in the 1980s and in the office they had stacks of Penthouses. Every time you looked at one you had to put $0.25 in a coffee can. When they had enough for a new mag someone would go out and buy one. Times certainly have changed

Just do what my great great aunt did. Write on the back "I don't know who these people are."
