Now Who's This Guy?

Wow, that was fast! I couldn't find another clear shot of Felsch from a quite that same angle, but the facial features do appear similar to me. So this would be him circa 1915-16 then.

So if there are no dissenters, I will consider this one "case closed" and move on to the next. Thanks for the quick response, Don!

Lance - I'm not so sure it's settled. If you can post or send me a higher resolution scan his head we may be able to settle this one way or the other.

You're welcome. Found this photo

One thing we can clearly see is that the belt buckle in Lance's photo is at a different location compared to the belt buckle in the Felsch photos shown above (and all the others I could find tonight).

Right shoe on original photo has a tongue with a white label/tab. Felsch photo above has no tab.

I was about to add the next unknown to this thread, and realized I had never responded to Mark's request for a larger head shot (sorry!)

So after much delay:

So, the fleshy part of Felsch's earlobe (photo below right) runs much farther up towards the back edge of his ear the does that of the player in Lance's photo (below left), so we can be sure he is not Felsch. Still don't know who he is.

Still no resolution on the "not-Felsch" photo, but ran across another this evening, so moving on. Any ideas on this one? Not nearly as clear, unfortunately. Acme stamping on the back dates to the 1930's fwiw, but the caption is unfortunately missing.

Did you ever figure this one out? I'll guess Shauno Collins.

Still not 100% sure on Glossop. In most of the photos I have, his nose appears a bit more rounded, but there is a LOT of sunlight that looks to be washing out some of the details of the negative, so I wouldn't rule him out. Emil Verban was also suggested, but I think failed the "ear check" due to Verban's earlobes being fully-attached whereas this guy's are at least somewhat detached.

By no means am I an expert on these things though (hence this thread), so feel free to set me straight.
