Vintage 8mm home movie footage from Chelan Washington USA in 1939 shows a man in a wide-brimmed hat and work clothes picking cotton in a sunlit field. He carefully gathers the fluffy white crop and places it into a large sack. The grainy black-and-white film captures the labor-intensive process of cotton harvesting, with visible film scratches and edge damage. Later frames show two men at a makeshift outdoor table near a tent, preparing food with a hand-cranked machine, likely processing the harvest. The footage offers a nostalgic glimpse into rural American agricultural life during the late 1930s.
