It looks like the last photo is of a Torpedo Roadster. It is interesting that it does not have the "torpedo horn" on it. I'm think that the torpedo horn was not necessarily with every torpedo produced.

I believe the last picture is of an open runabout, not a torpedo. They looked very similar, but the torpedo had front doors, which the open runabout did not have. I prefer the looks of the open runabout.

It would interesting to know what the big crowd was for in the photo! Must have been somebody famous to draw a big tightly packed crowd.

What ever it is, seems to be focused on the truck with packages on the roof. I was going to say something about WW1, but that car in the foreground looks just a bit "too" used for that. On the other hand, the few ladies in the picture look about right for that time. Political rally, strike? Could even be something to do with the Flu epidemic. We may never know!
I know the voices aren't real but damn they have some good ideas! :shock:

I've seen photos of large crowds gathered like that from the same time period. One was a large crowd gathered to listen to the world series in front of a drug store radio and another was a large crowd listening to a broadcast of a boxing match. They used to gather to listen to election results too. The first radio broadcast of election results was on November 2, 1920, at 8:00pm when John Cox of KDKA radio in Pittsburgh Pa. flipped the switch and informed those listening that Warren G. Harding was elected president.

I really enjoy these! It’s fun to imagine what went on before and after the pics were taken and life at the time. Thanks!

I found the photo of a Mount Lassen eruption quite interesting. I flew up through the Cascades several times in the late 1990s and into the 2000s, and was unaware that Lassen had erupted in relatively recent history. Evidently it erupted many times from 1914-1921, and was the only volcano in the contiguous U.S. other than Mount St. Helens to erupt in the 20th century.

It is interesting to see how much smaller in stature people were back then. I used to wonder if our cars have shrunk in the last hundred years. In old pictures there are always a lot of people in the cars and made the cars look so much larger.
I left the town and the house where I grew up when I was a teenager and when I went back in my twenties, I was stunned how the house and the town has shrunk. I guess if you never left the place where you grew up you never realize such things. Sorry for rambling on, Frank

People's height has not increased very much but they did a lot more walking and manual labor in those days. So obesity was rarer then. It even took a bit of work to saddle up and mount a horse.

I too really enjoy receiving these photos and so does my 92 Year old Father. He was the one that got me into this hobby
and secured me an apprenticeship with the local Ford Dealer.
We are amazed at the number of photos you find and post so frequently! 🙏 thank you!

I save all images of the 1909 /10 Model T’s and these years alone have taken up nearly all the space on my iPad

Cheers Alan in Western Australia
