Belgian Minerva crew in Russia, 1914.

 

1920 Chevrolet D5 V8 " Baby Grand " Touring. Note the chains.

 

And it's a #7 racing Buick as well!

What a fantastic photo. Judging from the style of pedal car and some of the toys around the tree (as well as the rugs) this is probably about a mid-1920s photo. And while there is a lamp and an overhead light fixture there are no lights on the Christmas tree; those didn't become common (or affordable for most people) until sometime in the 1930s. This photo was taken in the city somewhere since very few rural areas had electricity at the time. And notice how tall the tree is and also the extra high (when compared to today) ceilings. These children must have had a pretty great Christmas whatever year it was.
