I had heard that Niedner was once a Milwaukee cop. In the first photo, I think he's third from the left, it looks like they had an indoor gallery club, the targets are behind them. Thank you for sharing these!  Smiley

Neat pictures!

Looks like Milwaukee preferred iron sights, while Boston was scope country with some bolt actions and lever guns thrown in the mix.
  

There are three kinds of men: The ones that learn by reading, the few who learn by observation, and the rest who have to pee on the electric fence and find out for themselves.

Very neat! Those signatures confirm the authenticity of my Ideal Hand Book no.32 as having been owned and signed by Mr. Niedner. I find it very interesting that he wrote "own" next to a couple dozen molds, including most that would have been used for target shooting. Jo, I may have gotten this from you off ebay.

Wonderful images of times gone by.  In the 1912 picture (3 shooters setting up near a split rail fence) the gentleman and his attire listed as being Dr. Mann certainly seems to more resemble the gentleman listed as Dr. Baker in the other pictures than Dr. Mann shown in the 1911 picture.

Wonderful pictures.  Good to see that someone is preserving them and willing to share.

Thank you.

Thank you Joe
I have seen a few of these photos before But never the Milwaukee police photo. I know Pop was an auxilary Policeman when he was in Milwaukee. But I think that was right after he was let go from the army for being under age. Those all look to old to be Pop.

Wow, great pics, thanks for sharing. I'm lucky to have just a bit of A O Neidner history in the form of an Neidner .22 Ballard that is an absolute tack-driver.
