Sure, we all no doubt have a lot of keys but we don't necessarily carry them all around with us.
It's the fact this chap was carrying 11 of them which seems strange.
People used to carry more keys for some reason. I remember Neil's aunt had about a dozen in her purse. I don't think even she knew what they were all for. My mom has an entire row of hooks by the door for various cars and sheds.
Typically, a key for the ignition, a key for the car's trunk, two keys for the front door (lock and deadbolt), a key for the back door, a key to the post office box, a key or more for a place of work, a key for a locking toolbox, a key to one or more yard shed padlocks...I'm up to 9.
The heat may be getting to me, too. This is a stretch...
But I found a woman in the 1940 Census in NYC with the initial A. Thurbor. Her husband was 51 at the time. Which, would make him approximately 60 years old in 1950. He was the manager of a 'Siven' store.
Since he was such a small man, could it have been his wife's coat?
Back then a coat was a coat...not necessarily gender specific.
PS?... Found an Arthur T. Thurbor living in Ventura, CA 1926 to 1934 as an Oil Superintendent in CA voter records.
The tickets would be for this attraction, which was also (per article) used by local commuters:
Angels Flight - Wikipedia
"Angels Flight is a landmark 2 ft 6 in (762 mm) narrow gauge[3] funicular railway in the Bunker Hill district of Downtown Los Angeles, California. It has two funicular cars, Sinai and Olivet, running in opposite directions on a shared cable on the 298 feet (91 m) long inclined railway.[4]"
Oh good find coffeandacig! An oil superintendent . Many of the buildings had oil burners at that point. He could of been the guy that took care of oil burners in buildings that would make him have a lot keys. My dad was a super of 2 buildings I remember him having lots of keys that is why that came to my mind. And yes like carbuff mentioned people carried more keys back then.. and I actually still do!The heat may be getting to me, too. This is a stretch...

I found one missing man from around that time who sort of fits the profile:
James Albert Cunningham (1906-Unknown) - Find A...
Challenge accepted. That's only half the age of the oldest case we have helped with.Hey @othram how do you feel about 71 year old cases?
