Vintage 10" x 13" Albumen Photograph "Man With Pipe" ID-Info Help?

I think the nose is wrong for Crosby. His dipped down more than this man's.

 

Der Bingle, much as I loved him in Going My Way, never looked that macho in his life!

 

lololololo
Okay, not Bing!

 

I too thought it looked like Bing Crosby and I like the argument for it being Bing.
He often had a pipe in hand, and a hat on.

Doing a search for Rau - Tur, I came up with this.

The nose is wrong, and the ears are pinned back. He does look a lot like Bing, but I'm guessing he's a painter rather than a singer.

 

ya, i'm going to go with visual artist too....

 

F - ja & K - ja I also think are German. Like, whatever F and K were, they were both yes. Then it has 2 1/4 x 2 1/4, a size. The word on the bottom - can't tell. It kind of looks like Rau..tan or tam.

 

He has paint daubs on his shirt. I saw an article about German Expressionists from 1900-1910. One of them was smoking a pipe like this. Some of them don't have photos online.
