That's Myrna Loy and the dog is of course, Asta.

That felt is sooo petable. Put me down for one too.

^ Me too. Except I'd need a 2-1/2" brim, and a 1934 price.

Sounds fair to me. What do you think? $5? Maybe $10.

For the right hat, I'd splurge and go as high as $15.

Sounds like my recent auction strategy...

Either one will do!

1939. I'm not sure on the hat, but I would sure wear the coat.

Reminds me very much of the 1950's, especially the hat's crease (or lack thereof!)

Wow! I kept looking for chin straps. Must've had them pulled down tight on their heads.

Not sure where this was taken. It might be Pioneer Cemetery in Glenwood Springs, CO where the dead would have to be carried up in the wintertime or stored until Spring. That's why the old timers always said Doc Holliday isn't buried where they have marked today for tourists.

It's an interesting photo, but something about it suggests to me that it's more modern that it appears to be (i.e. more "screengrab" than "photo") and that the men are possibly actors or reenactors.

Of course, that's just my opinion; I could be wrong.

That “something”, my Zombie friend might be that the men are
moving and the angle of photo is not typical of photography of
old which required long exposure either sitting or standing and
at times props or sticks with neck braces were used to hold the
subject steady for the slow lenses of the time.

There’s a thread somewhere in the Fedora regarding “Hats & funerals”.
It’s interesting about the pros and cons with the wearing of hats at funerals.

Here’s one instance of motion in a photo.

El Gral. Pancho Villa on his horse, “Siete Leguas” after the battle of Ojinada,
Chihuahua in 1913.

Without a doubt.... my favorite:

I think of my dad and all the men who have served our Country.

Associated Press photographer Joe Rosenthal, Feb. 23, 1945.

Some local kids got into my UPS boxes on the porch before I could today...

That's a great pic!

My favorite of the ”Our Gang” characters was the kid with the perennial smile & a plethora of freckles, Mickey Daniels.

Allen ‘Farina’ Hoskins, one of the few to make the transition from silent to sound.
He was in the very first film series which began in 1922. If you look closely at his early
silent shorts, there are times when he is not acting but actually crying real tears.
