Very interesting. Thanks for the link. I enjoy the different hat styles and how they were worn.

You definitely wouldn't want to meet any of those guys in a dark alley.

One can only hope to look as good as the criminals of the past should one be locked up in the modern day. I want one of those cameras too.

From the looks of today's mug shots, crime must have payed more in the 20's.
