Who is this young guy ?
Older folks wait one day and let the younger folks guess 
It was Q.DAVID BOWERS.
He was bright and wanted to learn how a firm like Stack’s functioned. For example, prior to each session of our sales, David would “pitch in” and help us carry the needed auction material from our shop to the auction room, and he would even help set it up. When each session was over, Dave would help the staff pack up and take the material back to our offices. We became close friends, though we lived far apart. But in 2006, with the desire to enlarge both of our operations, we joined forces and today it is STACK’S BOWERS who serves you

B Max Mehl?
I don't understand what I'm seeing.
Are these coins?
Where are the slabs?
.
It’s Dave Bowers.
Did you dive in the "Fountain of Youth" before you decided to answer?

Sure looks like QDB in the early years.... Cheers, RickO
No, I’ve seen a number of pictures of him when he was young. This is one I have not seen before, but it’s him. The first one I was was on the dust cover of his first book, “Coins and Collectors” back when it was published circa 1964.
I believe I see 2 young guys.
Presumably the question and answers are for the person on the left.

QDB.
What I would like to do is have a day to look closely at each of the coins shown in the photo.
Dan Aykroyd and John Belushi - the early years??
Q. David Bowers, pictured in the 1950's, is on the left. I don't know who is on the right.
Harvey Stack ??

Not Harvey Stack on the right of the photo.
A well-known and liked person emailed me who
it is, but I didn't recognize them, and don't want
to say at this point, in case others have guesses.
I thought that looked like a kid QDB

It looks as if you should have defined “older folks” or used much larger font.😄

The guy on the right looks like @lordmarcovan

My digital cameo album 1950-64 Cameos - take a look!
I bought a lot of coins from Bowers Merena. Showing my age I guess.
Probably bid against each other
I also have a few from Bowers & Ruddy talk about old.....
it's crackers to slip a rozzer the dropsy in snide
The guy on the right has a lot of stuff "stacked" against him................

Whuzzat up there? 1960s?

The late 1960s.
Collector since 1976. On the CU forums here since 2001.

I knew it wasn't you because of the missing hat.

Looks like Nelson Bunker Hunt under Harvey Stack’s photo
Strange thing is that QDB, my father and my paternal uncle look like they could be brothers.
