2019 #VWEDU: Edwardian Era: Coopersville. The Titanic. Kitty hawk. Filling stations. Mary Pickford. The Entertainer

Edwardian Era: Coopersville.  
The Titanic.  Kitty hawk.  Filling stations. 
Mary Pickford. The Entertainer

A region depicting the early part of the 20th century. A little over 100 years ago.   Definitely a historical period.  With attention to historical accuracy, this could be a good location for a "mystery history" challenge.  Indeed I offer you such a challenge: If you did not read the text, would you be able to deduce the period from just what you see in the pictures here?

I remember those bottles

A filling station of that era

• Note the pump handles on the pumps.
• And the big glass tanks at the top.
• The attendant pumped the gasoline into the tank.
• Then delivered the gasoline in the amount you requested.
• You could see the amount you were getting.  
• I remember such pumps from the 1930's
