I identified these:

1. Abe Kosoff,
3. John J Ford Jr,
5. B. Max Mehl,
7. Raymond Wyatt,
8. Thomas L. Elder

And decided to stop…

I give up! After hours of research, I still cannot identify all the numismatists with Harvey Stack. One problem - I believe these pictures are from different eras so they do not show how these numismatists looked in the thirties. If I am correct, the photos may have been taken as much as fifty years apart.

These are the ones I can identify:

1. Abe Kosoff;
2. Unknown;
3. John J. Ford;
4. Henry Chapman;
5. B. Max Mehl;
6. Norman Shultz;
7. Wayte Raymond and
8. Thomas Elder.

I operated on the assumption that everyone pictured was also mentioned in the article. Somewhat by elimination, I thought the unidentified numismatist might be William Rabin, but I could not find another photo for confirmation.

Originally I thought number three was Hans Schulman, but he was not mentioned in the article. I now believe it is Ford, looking much younger than the man I got to know.

Using John Adams’s United States Numismatic Literature books as a crib sheet (you didn’t say we couldn’t) I would make the following identifications:

1 – Abe Kosoff,
2 – Joseph Stack
3 – return to him later
4 – Henry Chapman
5 – B. Max Mehl
6 – Morton Stack
7 – Wayte Raymond
8 – Thomas Elder

The hombre in #3 is a dead ringer for Humphrey Bogart, but I can’t come up with a numismatic connection to him. What is it?

1. Abe Kosoff
2. Joseph B. Stack, my uncle, and father of Ben & Norman all deceased.
3. John J. Ford, Jr.
4 ?
5. B. Max Mehl
6. Morton M. Stack, my father and Larry's grandfather.
7. One of the Guttag Bros, (possibly Julius)
8. Thomas L. Elder.
