Yes seilbahnbilder, these photos are definitely of the same lift.
The Crackenback chair was built at the Australian resort of Thredbo in 1958 and lengthened in 1962. It was 1835 metres long with a vertical gain of 560 metres.
It replaced a nutcracker tow on the same route. In 1990 it was replaced by a Doppelmayr combined gondola - quad chair.

I wonder if this could be of the Oh No Double at Haystack Vermont:

The Poma and the Mueller pictures are developed onto the same type of paper etc... so I think that these pictures were taken in the same ski area. If someone knows some old very old Poma doubles, it might be possible to find the appropriate location.
This is a chance that Poma double is from the old Petersburg Pass ski area in New York. They had an early 60s Poma double that was on a counterclockwise rotation. Chairs and towers looked identical to your photos. I only have photos of the bottom terminal during construction, so I'm not sure if they're identical (unable to compare the bridge tower). I also don't seem to have any photos of the top terminal to see if it was a floating bullwheel or not.
Nonetheless, Haystack and Petersburg Pass were a relatively short drive from each other, so it's possible that's what the photos are.

On the backside is written that this picture was taken at Mount Norquay (Banff), but according to Lift-World.info there is no Mueller double any more. Who knows the Name of this chairlift?
Lift 6 looks Rocky Mountains (Background) and looks Parks Canada (hut in background). Perhaps an old pick of the Yellow (??) lift at Louise?

Lift-World is incorrect in this case. This chairlift is definitly at Mount Norquay, it's the North American.
Ok, if I summarize:
Lift 1: Blue Chair / Silver Star / Canada (?)
Lift 2: Inferno Chair / Grouse Mountain / Canada
Lift 3: Tillicum Valley Chair / Tillcum Valley / Canada
Lift 4: Tee Pee Town Chair / Sunshine Village(Banff) / Canada (?)
Lift 5: Tee Pee Town Chair / Sunshine Village (Banff) / Canada
Lift 6: North American Chair / Mount Norquay (Banff) / Canada
Lift 7: Still no idea, but it could be in Norway.
Lift 8: Sainte Anne Gondola / Mount Sainte Anne / Canada
Some more information about Petersburg Pass and Haystack?

Sorry, I hadn't checked back into this thread.
The Oh No Double at Haystack was taken out of active use pretty close to a decade ago. I believe it was retrofitted with CTEC chairs sometime in the 80s or early 90s (which have since been resold I think). The ski area itself has operated a grand total of 2 days in the past half decade or so.

Used to ski there. They retrotfitted the life with CTEC chairs I believ in the 87-88 season, but kept the Mueller double-clamp style grip. A few years later CTEC also built a new, modern style return station at the top.
