Top Pic: Those two kids in front look deadly serious about this.
Bottom Pic: Kid on the right has a bullet missing from his belt. I have a feeling he's put ti to good use. Don't mess with him!

The kid in the middle looks like me at that age (he's even wearing my current glasses). Dig his bolo...

If he had a beard and hat, he would look like you now!

Wasn't sure where to share this, but this thread will do. Tonight was the first time I'd seen this photo. The Colonial was the premiere hotel in Springfield, Missouri for years. Built in 1907 (my wife's great-grandfather was the contractor on the project). It was starting to fall on hard times by the early 1960s and shut down in 1978. Several attempts were made to convert it to luxury apartments, but they all failed. It was razed in 1997 and is now a parking lot. We have a couple of brass air-vent grates from the lobby and a few pieces of serving silver and china. The main reason I wanted to post it up was the hat shop shown here. It stayed open until the 1978 closing.

Fred MacMurray and Barbara Stanwick in Double Indemnity (1944). I like the straight crown.

The straight crown works well on Mr. MacMurray, but if it were my hat I'd give it more rake so it wouldn't look so "boxy" from the sides.

You took the words right outta my mouth. Can't say I blame him.

Looks like it didn't take long for "Gordo" to modify the crease on his.

I was so used to seeing the way Cooper looked during interviews late in his life that it took me a min to recognize him.Looks like it didn't take long for "Gordo" to modify the crease on his.
