Excellent image of an office/sales environment in days gone by. The ladies at work in their print dresses, the wooden chairs, desks and in/out boxes, the samples on display about the place, the old light fittings (I remember those in shops years ago) and the implements on the walls. Very modern and businesslike. I love the cushion under the lady nearest the camera, a hard seat needs to be softened up a bit!

1926 to 1949 is??? The tractor would have been a major investment and would have been expected to last for years so it could have been taken any time after 1921! The baskets could have been for seedlings which would have needed some protection against crushing, drying and so on. Looking at the bags they appear to be lumpy in the way that branches would affect them? The young lady is very pretty and as you said very well dressed for the occasion, she was probably one of the Powers and not a field hand in the making!

Tobacco? Hamburg was the center of the German cigar making industry. William Power & Co. was a large tobacco grower.

Swordscookie You're quite right, as always! :) I should have been more specific. Definitely think that as the tractor registration (YI 9417) is almost at the top end of the numbering, that it must have been bought and registered very close to the cut-off point for that sequence - YI 9999 was in March 1927 - hence this photo must have been taken after 1926.

Seuss. Well now, tobacco. You could be spot on...

This is a big help to narrow the dating. Definitely 1926 or later. At this point the company was still called William Power & Sons. The name changed to William Power & Co. in 1942, when William senior died, and William junior took over. So, some time between 1926 and 1942! Wonder if we can do better than that even...
