Archive Week.....Homemade Snowmobile

So this week I decided to take a trip back in time. When we were staying at the Hotel MacDonald I came across a set of old photos on display. I thought it would be fun to share them with everyone this week.
This photo dates back to 1918 and is a homemade snowmobile that was being tested out

[Shirley Banford]

Wow! Excellent shot.

[Richard Lewis]

I just hope that in a 100 years from now there is a format for looking at photos of today and they haven't all got lost in some future change in technology.

[Babs]

Great step back in time shot and hope the snowmobile works as well in snow. Thanks for sharing.

Cool shot! I thought they'd lost the wheels from their car before I read the caption!

[John]

Now that is vintage, indeed!

[Tony]

Great vintage shot Brian.I had the engine and part frame for an indian motorbike when i was about 12 or 13.It ended up in the dump i think as i didn,t know any better.!!!

[Colleen Culhane]

Those old pictures always seem to have such rich detail.

[Kerri]

Awesome

[Howard Steele]

Wow now that is super cool and an old Indian no...less.

[Candace]

Love that they used an Indian motorcycle!

[Jane Anderson]

Looks about 1915--it's like a motorized bicycle and a sleigh melded together--very interesting!

What a great photo I love the sepia effect the had in photography in day gone bye:)

[Stephanie Swift]

Great old picture, thanks for sharing.

[Sandi]

Unfortunately, there doesn't seem to be much snow upon which they could test it...It sort of reminds me of a sleigh--a wonderful capture of such ingenuity. :)

Great vintage shot! @maggiemae Is this the same Indian motor as your husband's family?

[Maggiemae]

@olivetreeann Well it has the Indian name on it in the right font so must have originally come from a motorbike! Fascinating!
