Pool hall in Crocker, South Dakota in 1906

Pool hall in Crocker, South Dakota in 1906. Great taking a look at how the bar is stocked and set up. The wood (or coal) burning stove, no lights directly above the table. Maybe a glass humidor to the right of the bar?

Wonder what might be in the barrel on the bar?? The "fella" standing with the pool cue looks like he could give someone some trouble depending on a bet that went south.

That tall guy is Biff Tannen after he was run out of Hill Valley. Small guy is probably 14 years old and came in for a cold beer after working all day on the farm?

More than likely he was the rack boy. "Rack em' boy!"

The barrel may contain pickles.

The three people in the photo were probably thinking the same thing.
But yea, I agree with you.

The barrel has a tap.....I doubt it has pickles in it.
