Please feel free to move this if it is in the wrong spot. I am with the Barton County Historical Society in Lamar, MO. I am trying to track down information on some old bottling works plants we had in town in the early 1900's. If I could get a year on the delivery truck in these photos it might help me. A friend told me he thought it was a 1920-1925 Franklin chain drive.

Thanks

It doesn't look like a chain drive to me.
