    Hello,

    These Two Photographs came together.

    Are both from Indy, Indiana

    They look very close to the same (were sold as such)

    just wondering if people think they are the same man!

    The acrobat looks to be when the man was a bit younger.

    Thanks in advance! IMG_7528.JPG IMG_7529.JPG IMG_7530.JPG

    For sure! Same hair, same light eyes, same moustache, squared chin. No doubt in my mind!

    Figtree3 What would you do if you weren't afraid?

    Looks like the same person to me, too.

    I did want to point out that they are not both from Indianapolis (thinking that is what you meant by Indy). Portland, Indiana is almost 100 miles from Indianapolis. But he could have traveled.

    Check out Pinterest. I just Googled in 'old Acrobat from Portland' and Pinterest have a picture of someone who looks rather like your chap pictured with a boy who looks like his son. Who knows, maybe.
