The Knickerbockers -- Now In Living Color!

[Lucas00]

I can see this on pawn stars next year.

"Maybe it is the knickerbockers. But you heard what my expert said. The faces don't match up, the bone structure comparison is all wacky. And I don't sell items that dont have a 100% guarantee. Period."

Why are there three separate threads about the same subject?

The original thread :
https://www.net54baseball.com/showthread.php?t=295178

The second thread :
https://www.net54baseball.com/showthread.php?t=307403


And add me to list of those who are not seeing much (if any) of the 'proof' needed to convince me of the identities of those in the photo(s).

The last two in the first post (and the last one in the second).

Actually, the guy seated at right looks a lot like one of the Smith Brothers. According to the box his name was Mark 🤣. The time period fits.

I decided to do a separate thread on this subject as the previous longer one devolved into a series of smart-aleck comments. I saw no need to bury the color and half-and-half comparisons at the end of that thread and revive it. I have provided the comparisons here. If you don't think it's them, go ahead and say why. Specific features that you think don't match. Can you do that for all six people? Can you say definitively that this is 100% not a photo of Knickerbockers? Smart-aleck comments may be funny, but don't go anywhere in proving a point. I appreciate those who may have a positive opinion about the photo, but don't feel the need to jump into a fray with smart-alecks.

Ok, so now I'm supposed to prove that they aren't the same people, and by not doing so, I justify you thinking they are the same people?

I don't even understand where you got the two different photos from that you are comparing for each person, you don't mention that detail in this thread, and I haven't bothered reading the entirety of the other two threads.

I'm not being a 'smart aleck', I'm attempting to have a logical conversation, but you are so fixated on your item being what you want it to be that you aren't willing to have that logical conversation.

Fine, contrary to the other 'smart alecks', I will let you have your Knickerbockers stereoview, enjoy it, show it to your friends, frame it, hang it on your wall, post pictures of it on the interwebs, and when you decide that you want to sell it, well, that's when the opinions of the 'smart alecks' will again enter into the equation.

I suggest that you stop trying to convince us by starting new threads hoping that all the 'smart alecks' who posted in the original threads will conveniently not notice.

PS - they would not be 'buried at the end of the thread' to anybody logged it to the site the most recent post is the post you see first.
