    A friend in a photo group on Facebook has this photo of her grandfather or great grandfather and was wondering about the date. I am wondering what those round things are on the chair. (Never mind that gun!)

    Making a completely data-free guess, I wonder if they could be shooting competition targets/souvenirs?

    At first I thought they were laurel wreaths for the head. But the rings seem to be attached to some sort of banner, if I am seeing it correctly, so perhaps Maggie is right. Having them on the arms of an empty chair is very odd, as if someone should be sitting there.

    Just a guess on the date, looks around the year 1900. But that is a guess.

    It is a great photo.

    I was thinking about the same time too - first decade of the 20th century.
