That fellow above, J.C. James, looks a lot like the writer, Ferdinand Celine.

I've been poking around for historical pictures of Dayton, OH. Not much luck for online sources. The Dayton History site has some galleries, but not much before the 1950s, and most are street scenes or architectural - not a whole lot of people. I did find this one, though. If I could time travel, I'd go get a Champ hat.

There are very few recordings of Orville Wright speaking, as he was only known to have spoken publicly a couple of times. Once when he was in Paris, and he also spoke when he took over as President of the Engineers' Club of Dayton. In this clip, Charles Kettering and Col. Edward Deeds (who ain't no slouches in the invention department, either) talk about the history of The Club, and are joined at one point by Orville Wright.

One of the more iconic images of the Wrights, wearing the signature bowlers



In tribute to this, there are a few of these benches around town. One, of course, in front of The Club...



There are a few photos I've been able to find where Orville's not wearing a flat cap or bowler



But he apparently liked his bowlers, even as he got older...

Joao,

I love that super-tall crown in the last picture. The one on the guy in the middle, behind the smoke, wearing a bandana round his neck. A great look..

I'm doing some research to attempt a screen-accurate copy of Burgess Meredith's "Penguin" character in the 60's Batman series. Yeah, I'm a nerd. It'll be a second costume for next year's DragonCon if I can pull it off.

Anyway, while trying to find some decent shots of the outfit I ran across this pic of the actor in street clothes. He wears his hat well.

Is it just me, or does the 7th actor from the left (chaps and cuffs, hat pushed back) look like Charles M. Russell?

 

[RJR]

I surely see the resemblence,if it isn't.

Occupy Wall Street. 1914, done with better hats.

Cheers!

I always love finding the old color images from that era. It lets you know that their world was just as colorful and full of life.

Cheers!
