I am rearranging my old darkroom to convert it into a digital darkroom and ran across many old B & W prints from a few years ago.
This is one of my daughter’s on my Godfathers fire truck. It is a 1918 American Lafrance, and has been restored to perfection. This truck was running so nice that you could hand crank it cold, and it would fire right up. It was actually used to fight several fires in the Tuskegee Al area. The outline pattern you see is hand laid gold leaf. I know all white may sound strange for a fire engine, but this was a color that was used on some trucks.
I am sure I will run across many more and will try to post them if I get a chance.
Thanks,
Bubba
