I'm with you on the familiarity aspect. Same as above and recall an umpire image like this.
edited to add: Not Billy Evans, but similar to. The plaid coat and that bag are not consistent with an umpire's gear that I'm familiar with. Appear to be street clothes, but maybe the shape of the duffle bag might help identify the sport/person. I suppose the question is whether or not it's actually baseball related. Perhaps polo? |
I have no idea who it is but this sort of stuff is part of what makes collecting fun.
That coat...to paraphrase Al Czervik: "Geez, that's the worst looking coat I've ever seen. You buy a coat like that you oughta get a bowl of soup...but on you it looks good." https://photos.imageevent.com/exhibi...%20czervik.jpg My favorite one like this was a cabinet card listed for sale as a boxer's photo with nothing more: https://photos.imageevent.com/exhibi...%20Cabinet.jpg It is lightweight champ and HOFer Benny Leonard in a ca. 1920 mounted photo. |

Every time I look at this image I see a very young Bob Shawkey. No idea if it is him, but that is who I see.
