Related to every one of them!
Particularly #11..............Cheers, SB
#11, LOL
I noticed in photo #12. The unidentified man in the center. Look at the difference between his left and right hands.
Would it suggest he's a brawler?

Harry Williams was sentenced to 12 months hard labour on March 1929 for breaking, entering and stealing. Although he ‘consorts with prostitutes’ and ‘frequents hotels and wine bars in the vicinity of the Haymarket’, he is described as being of ‘quiet disposition’.

Gotta say, Australia used to have a very well dressed criminal class.
I couldn't see a single hoodie or backwards baseball cap in any of those photos.
And I loved this :
The caption describes him as: an opium dealer operating with large quantities of faked opium and cocaine.
In this day and age if you could make a good living selling off baking powder you would be lauded as an entrepreneur and probably offered a job as CEO of a third tier home mortgage lender

Some of the English "rogues gallery" from the 1960s were also well dressed.
The Richardsons and the Krays come to mind.
On a slightly different subject, I see Whitey Bulger finally got his just deserts !
About time I'd say..........
