Russell Lee is responsible for some amazing photographs.
His photos from Pie Town New Mexico are some of his best work.
I am always taken aback by his work,
And especially when I run across one that I do not think I have seen before.

This one is from June 1940 in Pie Town, New Mexico, taken by Russell Lee.
The 2nd is the same photo in color.

I wanna know how that wind trolley works.

My guess is it is decorative.

I was hoping maybe it tucked into the keep and would extend out.

I believe you are correct, From what I see , that would be the only wat it would be functional.

I also like the zip up shirt [maybe be a light jacket] and the corduroy vest !!!

The game of "Musical Hats" was pretty serious back in 1911. Eastern Douglas County, Missouri (my neighborhood).

Maybe it's not a button, but a tack!

My first thought was a golfer’s divot slid in behind the bow keeper.

I still believe it is a trolley.

That third picture, the one Bob referenced, was used as the background (wallpaper,whatever) on my cellphone for years. Not sure where I found it but it’s very awesome.
