Hello all! Heard back from Nancy over at Meade County Historical Society. She said that the photo dates between 1885 and 1889 as the name was...
So interesting! All of this just makes me want to get to the bottom of this photo more than ever!
No Address Printed on Back, just on the front. Standard sorta Photographer Print of the Time. I've seen Photos labeled "Meade, Kansas" by the...
Not sure if J. W. Mosser Traveled. I've only seen Meade Center & Caldwell Kansas as of now. But I'm not sure if he had two locations or like you...

Love where this discussion has gone! I'm in the same boat! So many questions! As of now, the story I have conjured up is... 5 Friends (Gang?)...
Wow! Very cool! So the photo could be from the 1880's - 1890's as it seems their fashion is about then in (Western American) terms.

Thank you for the links! I've emailed them! Hopefully they will have some info for us! :)

Could it be a humidor?
