[ 1930 Japan - HMC Rear Car Motorcycle, Kobe ] A man selling charcoal briquettes poses on a rear car delivery motorcycle in Kobe.

The photo is dated May 12, 1930. Very few Japanese cargo trikes survived the war, making this photo an important historical document. 20th century gelatin silver print.
