Members of the newly formed Oregon Extension Service posing on the engine pulling the Dairy Demonstration Train that toured the state in 1912. I like the guy toward the middle of the group with the crease clip on his center dent.

That was a great time for men's clothes. Don't some of the hats look to be of a later date, though? I'm thinking of the gent in the lighter-colored suit at the bottom left and the guy on the top left.

The date of this image is based on the event in 1912. It is interesting that the hats do show some "later" looking wider brims. As I have looked at a number of hat ads from this era, there was quite a variety available. One thing that is fairly universal is a center dent, with side pinches on the majority of men's styles in the teens. The crease clip seen just below and to the left of the number on the engine smokebox is common for the period. I have a hat being made right now that is an homage to this era. I'm looking for a vintage crease clip to give the crown a more 1912 look.

Red, Bob at BSHW may have one of those clips if you need one...

Unidentified Confederate Soldier with an open crown hat. Appears to be a bit of colorizing on the cheeks. Great photo!

Great photo!

Sure is.

Great series Bob. The Unknown is a Jicarillia Apache boy photographed by Edward Curtis in 1905. I have it in a coffee table book of his photography.

I like that photo of Little Cook.

Thanks Jack. And thanks for the update on the last photo. Google Image Search was of no help.

I see a new book of his work will be out in March ($265). I'll just keep the one I got.

It is really interesting how little men's clothes changed before the 1960's or so. Some of the guys in that photo wouldn't have been out of place in the 1950's. When I think about it, though, I realize that I don't dress today very differently than I did forty years ago.

Looks like most of those overalls have a button down flap pocket on the chest. Never seen any like that before. I'd like to find a pair.

Nice hat crease FDR!

Is there a parent here or a father or grandfather not touched by this picture?

Soldiers of a Confederate unit from Arkansas. The two on the right look as if they might have been brothers. Three of the hats appear similar to each other, perhaps from the same supplier.
