Just looked him up on Wikipedia—man what a fascinating character! And what a fish!!!

My grandparents-in-law in the early 50's. Looks like he could have some heat tucked up under that coat!

Repeat from sometime back because I like the pic so much.

Navajo philosopher, medicine man Curley Mustache Begay & one of his sons, Hosteen Begay Number Two. Curley lived to ~104 & the University of New Mexico has since published a lot of his writings. Hosteen lived into his 90's.

Sea bass, like Goliath Groupers, just look too big to be real. Back in the 1970s/80s we hunted on Catalina Island for pigs and goats, but they eradicated all the non-native game species other than deer years ago.

I think Thomas "Axe Handle" Keithley was a "Grand Luthier" making fiddles & maybe guitars, & they didn't know how to spell it.

Or maybe he was just a Grand father.

Not one wearer in particular, but a colorized movie of Paris in 1921. One could argue the heyday of hats and they are certainly on full display throughout this little movie.

Michael Gannon posted this one in his IG page the other day. I thought it was pretty cool.

Very cool! Thanks, Stefan. I enjoyed the variety of hats, particularly the diplomatiques and the other curled brim hats.

Thanks to a discussion here on the FL, I poked around and found this video of the construction of the Dayton Masonic Temple in 1925-26. Not nearly as entertaining and colorful as the Paris video, but it's kinda fun to see the workmen in their hats and the Masonic Grand Poobahs having a little ceremony raising the flag in front of the building. Some nice shots of some of the old mansions in my neighborhood that are no longer there, as well.

Alexander Majors (1814 – 1900)

American pioneer, freighter, and co-founder along with William Russell & William Waddell of the Pony Express. In 1860 the Russell, Majors and Waddell Freight Co
formed the Central Overland California and Pikes Peak Express Co to win the federal mail contract previously held by the Butterfield Overland Mail & Stagecoach Co. The following yr in 1861 the Central Overland California and Pikes Peak Express Co went bankrupt when the Transcontinental Telegraph Service eliminated the federal mail contract.

The mainstay for the Russell, Majors and Waddell Freight Co was supplying rail ties to the Union Pacific Railroad crews working on the First Transcontinental Railroad. After its completion, the Russell, Majors and Waddell Freight Co continued to haul freight to towns not yet served by the railroad.

Sea of Hats, 1930, New York City
"This picture of Margaret Bourke-White was the magazine’s first cover. She was into air footage and always captured the best aerial shots. Men in hats were photographed in New York City’s Garment District on 36rh St. between 8th and 9th Avenues.

"Margaret was a legend. Not only did she become the first accredited woman photographer in WWII, but also she became the first woman to fly on a combat mission and the first woman allowed into the U.S.S.R."

Ben Affleck stepping back in time. The 43-year-old actor was taking a ride in a 1929 Franklin Airman Roadster, a pale yellow vintage convertible, on the set of his new film, Live By Night, in Georgia.

Maybe I should have put this in the, You know that you are getting old, thread. I remember going to see The Sting when it first released in the UK, 49 years ago. Incidentally J.J. played by Ray Walston, isn’t picking his nose, it’s a signal to Henry, (Paul Newman.)
