[SEL] OT : Unknown Chain Drive Car circa 1916

[mr at carolina.rr.com]

In my opinion the car is definitely 1913 or earlier.  If the picture is in the US, autos prior to this date were right hand drive such as this.  Also notice the drip oilers, wooden wheels with wooden fellows, and chain drive.  Around 1908 most chain drives were starting to disappear.
