This is a nice view of some fine old machinery. I like that you can see the gauge on the steam engine. The belt makes a fine leading line as well.

That tractor is way older than 1950. Probably closer to 1930 or even 1920. Nice toning. Not taking any points waya because of it. Nice to see that you followed the title guideline.

Are you sure that this was 1950? I looks older than that. Whatever the year, this is a great picture, well rooted in a specific era. 8

The sky is a touch bright, but the photo is nicely applicable to the challenge and item does capture a different time.

You did a great job aging this photo. Looks very authentic like it was actually taken back then
