Two tintypes coming from Nebraska were sold as unknown- described as four gentlemen smohing, my first thought was they looked more like robbers to me- So thats where I keyed my search- was no time the Famous Five image showed up- as soon as I saw it- I recognized Will "News" Carver as the man in my tintypes- photo one- showing Carver and another bushy mustache man who from known photos appears to be a Ketchum- which one ? still researching this ! photo two again centered around Will Carver top right ! per my research for now-- showing William "Elzy" Lay frt left and likely Ben Kilpatrick frt right.---- standing left Sundance Kid "Harry Longabough"- then again Will "News" Carver. All names mentioned were associated with both The Wild Bunch and The Ketchum Gang. as there are hardly any known photos to compare to- I do feel my attribution is very well at this point. again- Carver being my main focus- below is a known Carver image of which there is not many ! that places him in the midst of both gangs
