Featured Anyone famous? Time frame?

nobody could hit him lol

 

i have some boxing cards (the whole set ) i will look through them and see if he is there

 

Finally a break in the day activities with time to study the bottle labels. The bottle he is the holding us Seagram's VO Canadian Whiskey. The label is like the following:

The square bottle to the left has a square/rectangle label with a white circle in the middle. The name in the circle has 5 letters starting K, R, X,... The other letters may?? be inner, issen, isken, ...
Obviously I have no idea what it is.

Square one looks like Kinsey or Kenney? And the one in back and to the left looks like Bellows. Never heard of either one myself.

 

It's definitely Kinsey - see this etsy listing. Same bottle

Bellows is also an American blended whiskey.

 

I now think the square one has a hyphen like Kes-??, Ken-??, Kex-et, Ken-ex, ...

 

Good find, Bake!

HI, I've been out of commission for a while but now back to add my unwelcome ideas.

That's not a commercial "bar." It's a temporary one as commonly used for such as New Year's eve.

His ears really do stick out but are not cauliflower ears. C ears are those crumpled up and very close to the head.

Yeah, I'd agree with 1940's. But what is that under his coat and scarf? A sweater?

 

For a minute I thought he looked like Spike Jones, but def. not.

OldGuy, you may very well be right about that! It's certainly not very attractive... Of course, it could be at a fraternal club or something like that, too.

 

I agree and more than likely it is some Irish guy sending a photo over to the family back home here in Ireland to say he landed a job no pubs in NY would need to have a New York pendant or what district it was on the counter, so I agree it is either a studio shot or actually the guys home bar, maybe 1950's. As for his clothing men here in Ireland wore clothes like that right up to the late 60's/70's. Nice shot but if it was a pub I would say it it would possibly be the most miserable Pub in the world big sour face on him.
