There were a few evident problems with this image. While the contrast and tones looked pretty nice, it had a lot of physical defects. The corners were torn off, and there was a hole punched by the guy on the upper left. There were little hairs all over the place, confetti like dots in other places, and the right corner had a dark mass in that corner.
I have no idea what year this is. The gave a range of 1909-1920, and they opened in 1901. The bulbs are rounded, people are still wearing those stiff collars. While I did find the drill press (its a Camelback drill press), there was no year. So I split the difference and made it 1915.
What I liked most about this shop is - there were no belts coming off the ceiling. They all had their own motor, while they still had belts, it opened the whole workshop up.
