  • The hiker

    A TINTYPE from Cowan's auctions showing a hiker. It would be interesting to see what his knapsack looks like. ~Gary

    Very cool image. The straps on his knapsack appear to be simple striped web tape.

      I would like to know what the back of the image says. I wonder if it is a backpack/knapsack or a bedroll? I have contemplated rigging a hoboroll to ride with two straps. I may do it now.

        He must be a farb!

        How could he be a hiker with boots on?
        Thanks,

          But the boots have metal toe plates!

            Should he have been photographed with two hiking poles I would have to disagree, but since he has only one you are correct!
