<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Ladybranch, post: 69382, member: 44&quot;]&gt;So the photo could be from the 1880&#039;s - 1890&#039;s as it seems their fashion is about then in (Western American) terms.&lt;</p><p><br /></p><p>Because of their overall dress and composure, I feel it is more the 1890s or early 1900. Taupou, I also thought about the farm equipment. Earlier I tried to pin it down in hopes of dating it. I couldn&#039;t see enough of it to ID it. I wonder if it is 1 piece of equipment or 2. Was extensive farm equipment like this used much before 1890? Following are close-ups of the few parts of the equipment I can see.</p><p><br /></p><p>&gt;...interesting picture ... Sunday best...&lt;</p><p><br /></p><p>Isn&#039;t it! At first I thought a relaxed Sunday afternoon, but if that is a barber&#039;s cover for a shave then probably not a Sunday. Possibly a group of traveling salesman (like for farm equipment, etc) staying at a local hotel having a drink and a shave. Salesmen would be dressed like this on any day of the week.</p><p><br /></p><p>--- Susan</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]17960[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]17961[/ATTACH]&nbsp; [ATTACH=full]17963[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
