This Library of Congress photo was labelled "Taking home geese won at raffle" in December 1910 but it looks like more than a goose was won? Perhaps a dog, a statue, a goose, and a turkey? Whatever was won 100+ years ago, you'd never see a raffle like this today. Some things DO change throughout the years?

I think this was taken much earlier. The man with the handlebar mustache and the clothing make me think this was early 1900's.

Here is a photo of my grandparents. I think it is from early 1900's. Note the mustache, hat, and collar on my grandfather!
