A group of 16 guys who appear to be taking a work break. Location and type of work they were doing is unknown. You can see the lunch boxes of many of the men. There are plenty of examples online of old metal lunch boxes. The type seen in this photo show up under headings for coal miners and railroad workers. You can see that a couple of the men have cigars and a couple of them have pipes. Were they farm workers, county workers, surveyors, ranch hands, railroad workers, coal-miners that got cleaned up for the photo (this seems like a stretch)…? Notice the heavy gloves the guy on the far left is wearing. All are dressed in work clothes except for the guy at the back in the bow-tie. Maybe he was the boss? Too bad the sign in the back is unreadable, as that would have surely given us some clues.
