Re: Traveling salesman.
The 3rd photo of the Coupe shows it to have a radiator badge or ornament of a lodge of some sort but what is it.
The 9th photo is the most interesting to me. The caption says 1940 and the TT is maybe the home, transportation or utility truck for the guy who captures the game listed by the caption. No telling what the inside of the TT looked like or smelled after years of use. The owner must have been a real deal hunter and outdoors guy going by the looks of him!!
More great examples of everyday T’s used in everyday use showing what they really looked like wayback when! Typical of what we do today. Using your transportation and maybe washing it when we get time. But most of us don’t have the dirt roads in abundance like they did then.

Re: Traveling salesman.
In the picture of the Ford TT camper it says , location is ,Treasure Island San Francisco 1940. That was where the San Francisco World’s Fair was that year, and there are pictures of his travels on the camper. Also the dog, coyote, turtle, and opossums are his traveling buddies. The dog is looking at the camera and the coyote looks toward the man holding the turtle and opossums. His story must have very interesting in the days just before the US was at war.

Re: Traveling salesman.
Last photo. "The corn is as high as an elephant's eye" (1955 "Oh What a Beautiful Morning" from the musical "Oklahoma!"
The T appears to be an early 1917 with the tombstone rear light (window) in the top. Photo dated June 1917.
The fourth photo is interesting. I wonder what they are all doing? Ten cars, a few people walking around including a mom and two kids. A couple cars appear to have someone sitting in them. I can't tell if people are in the field or not? There appears to be a large bird flying off in the far back of the photo, maybe a turkey vulture scared off from the road by the car driving away?
Two very interesting speedster type cars? One a fenderless roadster. The other very sporty, but looks like a coupe-type top on it?
Photo number seven is as fancy a bus as I have ever seen on a model T chassis! I love it!
The runabout in number fifteen appears to have 1915/'16 rear fenders. Likely a 1916 runabout.
