Summary[edit]

Description

After careful study, I noticed that the clock on the wall has a hand for the day of the month. There is also a calender on the wall set to April, but the year is unreadable. With a little bit of deducing, I was able to determine that this picture was taken on April 27, 1927 at 2pm (or 2am). It is also possible that the calender is old and the clock isn't running but I like my theory better. ^_^

Charles Metzger's great-nephew Keith discovered this posting and sent along the following information:

Charles George Metzger was born in 1877 in Auglaize County Ohio and died in 1952 in Wapakoneta (Auglaize County). Census records showed him as a farm laborer in 1900 at the age of 22. 1910 showed he worked in a Livery Barn. The 1920 and 1930 census records show he was a repair man in a garage.

If you know the year or model of the car please let me know.
