The Motor Cycle Dec 29, 1938


 

International Auto Wagon, 1907


One from the transitional era of automobiles. When most of the country was farming, a wagon was the usual vehicle. This would feel very familiar. The powertrain was a horizontally opposed twin fit under the floor with fans to blow air across the cylinders.  Note the driver's newfangled duster and googles. Bottom, the same vehicle as a buggy.

Toys for boys, 1903


 Montgomery Ward, 1903

E C Atkins tool


 


This is an odd one, first that blade-type thing is wrong, it's actually a knife from a hay mower, so that's a distraction. E C Atkins of Indianapolis opened in 1855 and made mostly saws of all types as well as blade-related equipment, but I don't see this tool in any of the trade catalogs online. Previous post here
