#7 in Silver Plume

Saw someone post a circa 1921 family photo that included #7 on Reddit

Hadn't seen this style of plow with foot steps so close up. Also nice to see the clock of the pavilion.

What a great find, Nick! So much detail captured in the grains of silver.

I have see one other photo with this type of simple, sheet metal plow over the stubby pilot with wooden slats:

Since number 8 spent most of her career on Clear Creek with number 7, the snow in the canon likely didn't require the heavy plows. I'll bet that number 7 in your photo had a "Como" spark arrestor as well, dating it to about 1916-1918.

Can anyone date the auto at the left frame??

Certainly after 1915 as the electric line from the generator to the electric headlight is nicely shown coming out of the handrail up to the light. Good view of a little detail not often seen.
