A square image recorded with a vertical portrait orientation will fill the top and bottom areas with what you see. To clean up the image, a photo manipulation software in needed to crop away the extraneous. A free basic shareware www.irfanview.com has about six-seven easy-to-use functions that can repair any image. Its free and works great. 1 2
Larry Schramm Posted October 24 Posted October 24 I would say Model T trailer, but not sure on the car. Resourceful way to make what looks like a camping trailer in the day. 3

30DodgePanel Posted October 26 Posted October 26 (edited) Description found as follows: View of baseball team. Jerseys read Freewheeling Studebaker and Hupmobile and Bussen Quarries. The Free Wheeling baseball team played in the St. Louis Municipal Baseball Association and the Mound City League in 1931. Members represented various car dealerships around the city. “Free wheeling” was an automobile feature that allowed the vehicle’s front wheels to disengage from the axel and roll freely, arguably to improve gas mileage.

Very likely the blacksmith owned the place and was in a career evolution journey. But you know… he had to pay the bills, couldn’t ignore his past experience and also could give a hand in auto repairs! He was knowledgeable in using a hammer for sure! 4

Walt G Posted October 27 Author Posted October 27 Take a minute to look beyond the neat cars at the structures that they are posed in front of. The great photo submitted by 30Dodgepanel had a dealership building for Naert- Nash. Note the brick and tile work above the signs, the house at the extreme left with its curved window arches in brick and the cap along the top edge of the building . Craftsmanship that took time to complete and was designed with a pencil, and ruler, not a tap of a computer key. No aluminum frames, or plastic/vynil windows . Commercial buildings used as stores to sell goods but designed with care and thought to be simple yet attractive and were not high maintenance when completed. 6

wayne sheldon Posted October 28 Posted October 28 I agree with keiser31 about Cadillac, but think it is a few years newer than 1915, maybe even 1920 or so. The girl's attire however is a bit later, mid to late 1920s, or even 1930 or 1931. The car shows some years of use, so it has been around awhile. I suspect the wheels were changed at some point because as the industry changed from the earlier high pressure tires to the smaller rim size balloon tires around 1924, it didn't take long for some of the larger diameter high pressure tire sizes to become scarce.
