Four Men, a driver and dog
by Richovery
Another postcard found and purchased online, no information on the back of the card. The photograph is posed but not in a formal way and the dog is doing it’s own thing. The shadows of the car wheels, bicycle, house and the mysterious driver all add to the image. It looked American to me when I first saw it but I’m not sure. The number plate might provide clues to the location, there are smaller numbers to the left of the main number plate (they looked like 1908 to me under a loop) and a symbol or crest of some kind. It isn’t an early British number plate as they started with letters followed by numbers. US plates vary from state to state but this could be American as they often had symbols to identify the state.

An interesting postcard and you have certainly done a great deal of research about it Richard.The house certainly looks American or Canadian,a bit bigger than the ranch we stayed at in Canada in 1968!
I love the car and bike.Wonder what relationship the men had to each other.These old postcards definitely give us a snapshot of times past.
Thanks, it reminded me of the ranch too. I would love to know a bit more about the men and the house.
Nice snapshot; I’d agree it is American. It almost looks like they’re posing beside the house having just finished the flat pack build (no doubt it all came in that hefty wooden packing crate)!
I’ve done a fair bit of looking at old UK number plates in my own photo research (they can give clues to locations) and none looked like this. The jpeg isn’t big enough to try and make out the radiator badge but that would be easy for a vintage car expert.
Thanks for confirming it is an American plate Simon. If it was a flatpack, I’m glad I wasn’t delivering it!
