1930s - No context for this. No one in the family could identify anyone in the picture. The vehicle is a Model T from between 1917 and 1927 (I think) and in a shot from another angle, the spare of my great-grandfather's 1930ish Willy's can be seen. We think he took the picture on a trip to Florida.
