I'm loving these pics, guys!

Now:

September 1910. Burlington, Vermont. "Two of the 'pin boys' working in Bowling Academy with three other small boys until 10 or 11 p.m. some nights."

Reading the remarks, the last guy has 3 fingers missing from his left hand which he is trying to hide in the pics.

Made me think of the Japanese Yubitsume.

With hair like that I would bet money his name was Sean.

But everyone called him "Curly".

He reminds me of the two Irish brothers & one named Sean in "Lonesome Dove", but I know you have never watched it.

I have copies of all 4; the 2 prequels & the sequel. Someone claimed once the 4 were once available in gold leaf hardback editions in a slip cover but I've never seen one. I have it saved in my account at ABE Books but nothing has ever turned up.

Have you ever heard of such an edition?

No, that's news to me. It sounds like a great idea.
