DescriptionSepia-tone photo of a taxicab or car service automobile parked on unidentified street, Hoboken, no date, probably 1927 (license plate date.) 8" x 10" wide print. Photograph taken by R. Magnus (emboss lower right.) Reverse is blank. Views are described from viewpoint in front of vehicle: View is of front and left side of taxi as parked on street. While it has an omnibus license plate indicating it was for hire, it has no signage or lights indicating it was taxi cab. Probable that it was the equivalent of a car or limousine service of its era. "Flat to rent" sign in right background. This photo is from an accession group that consists of photographs from Hoboken Police Department records. Discarded in the 1990s, the original documentary purpose of this photo is not stated or apparent. NJ license plate: OM'BS [omnibus] NJ 27 O2776B Street is paved with asphalt. The building front in the left background (over the car roof) shares some characteristics of the one seen in photo 2 of photo record 2011.048.0013 which was at 217 Clinton St. and across the street from the Model Garage. The shorter planked structure next to it resembles the one seen in the same photo for Martin Trucking & Rigging.
