Great thoughts and both could very well be possibilities. Can't find anything similar though. Compass and surveying equipment were certainly promising.

Not sure what he is leaning on - looks like a chair is behind him though but looks nothing like the thing he is hanging on.

There is no other markings on the daguerreotype. Two others I bought were marked "Scovill" but not this one.

Maybe he was a Free Mason? I'm just guessing.

Everyone is just guessing. No need to point out the obvious

I don't the gentleman us wearing it. It appears that there is a trunk in front of him that is partially open, and what you are seeing is the latch to the trunk. Google "antique trunk parts" and you'll see similarly shaped items.

I don't know this weeks picks yet, but here are some games with current lines to be thinking about:

Kansas ST -11.5 Iowa St (Kan ST is a lock)
Oklahoma -23.5 Tulsa
Fl Atl +40.5 Alabama
UAB +28.5 Miss St
USC +2.5 Stanford
Ga Tech -9.5 Tulane
Ole Miss -20.5 Vandy
Mich St +12.5 Oregon
East Car +16.5 USCe
BYU +3.5 Texas
Michigan +4.5 Notre Dame
Va Tech +12.5 Ohio State

Again, these are not the formal picks, just some games to be considering. I like Kansas St and Ga Tech the best of these.

Squatch gets credit for finding this one

K9 had the original idea to use an anchored thread last year

The only problem is I really want to know what that thing is in the photograph from the OP.
