Gentlemen, Start Your Engines
(Unidentified Glass-Plate Image)

Guys with Motorcycles

Perhaps these unidentified guys with motorcycles are about to race, or just go on an outing.

The guy holding the dog (fifth from the right) looks a lot like our tire seller.

Two others are wearing the HMC sweater I wondered about in the yearling-calf picture. Perhaps "HMC" stands for "Hobart Motorcycle Club"!

I think the guy in the HMC sweater at the far right of this picture looks a bit like the guy at right in the yearling-calf picture, but unfortunately here he's too out-of-focus here to tell whether he's got that distinctive dimple in his chin.

Actually, I feel this whole setting is familiar, from the picket fence with the trees beside it, to the house in the background. I think we've seen it before, as the setting for portraits of Eric Carlson and Pastor Moberg. And that picket fence looks like the one around the house identified as the Carlson house. (On the other hand, picket fences were probably even then mass-manufactured….)

Speaking of Eric Carlson, I see a resemblance between him and the guy fourth from the left in the photo above. That could be Eric, or a brother of his.
