    Description

    Antique Photograph Snapshot of the Type-O,  Thew Automatic Steam Shovel, Lorain OH.   Also pictured is a work truck of the same vintage - the main in front of it may be cranking the motor to get it started.
    I assume the photo to be pre-1920, but if not, it is very close to that date one side or the other.   The photo is slightly larger than a postcard of that era but of lighter stock.
    A small amount of edge damage and age related smudging.  In general, in good condition.
    Richard Thew is credited with building the first fully revolving steam shovel in the United States. The Thew Automatic Shovel Co. was incorporated in 1899 at Lorain, Ohio.
    Shipped USPS First Class in rigid plastic sleeve.
