Giant Antique Steam Shovel Real Photo Postcard
What a monster! I'm guessing this thing was steam but maybe it was somehow tied to the "buildings" behind it. How did this thing move? There is no caption. I wish I knew where this was located and what were they excavating. Maybe it was homemade.
Not the two guys sitting on the top of the support braces and the guy on the top of the boom! The bucket door appears to be open but it looks to be packed with mud. Those four discs maybe are kerosene lights(?) for working at night.
