Looks like a US Motors globe in the center? That would date it to the early 1930's.

Shawn, Wes will know better than I.

My eyes are not the best; but I will hazard a guess based on what I see in regards to the Globes I can make out...

To me the far left Globe looks to be Sinclair "Regular" Gasoline (with stripes)... In use from 1930 to 1934 (using Scott and Wayne's 1st Globe CD)

The middle Globe looks to me to be a Sinclair "U.S. Motor Specifications" Globe and was used from 1930 to 1934... (again, if I am using the Globe CD correctly)

The H-C globe, again if I am looking at the correct version and not mistaken in what I am seeing? Was used from 1927 to 1935...

So, I believe that the photo was taken between 1930 and possibly 1935?

I maybe "all wet" in what I am saying? (and if I am mistaken; I apologize) But, I think I am in the ballpark as to when the image was taken...
