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??
