Contains a very early example of what looks to be a cattleman too. Lotta taper on this crown though it seems

Cowboy Boney Caldwell surveys the JA Ranch in 1908. Per Erwin Smith, who took this photo, Caldwell was a very good cowboy.

Colorized photo from 1922 of what was likely a training session during Prohibition when dogs were trained to sniff out whiskey.

Nice but an English estimate is the photo resembles a Norman Rockwell to such extent that it must be real.
A law enforcement training image, no too precious a look.

Sorry, but no cigar or Norman Rockwell. Here is the original B/W photo dated 1922, along with another taken minutes before/after.

These are great shots......I wondered if they were not comments on the dog wanting a sip too.

I had both a horse and a Scottish Shetland (they are like mini draft horses, very stout build, bred to pull ore carts in mines) that liked beer.......a LOT.

Yeah, we don't know if the pooch is pilfering it or putting it back.

What I meant to say Rockwell-ish. but either way a precious snap. Fine spaniel and that pipe hits spot.

No, the colorized version was done by a dog breeders group. They were discussing the Golden Retriever which wasn’t well established in North America until ~1920, & how the breed has changed to how we know it today. Much like the difference today in the American Labrador Retriever with its tall stance, short coat, delta shaped head & long snout vs the English Labrador Retriever with its shorter stance, longer curly coat & wide blocky head.

But I do have the WDC Wellington pipe in jumbo.
