A men on machines photo for the Vintage Photos Theme Park monthly free-for-all topic (submit as many vintage photos on any topic as you'd like).

This is a snapshot of three sailors goofing around on top of an old steamroller.

A handwritten note on the other side of the photo identifies the "ship" and its crew: "Good old ship 'Rollupnutherone.' Hanson, pilot. Robinson, observer. Umholtz, helmsman."

I sure hope Santa gets a new airplane this year! He's still making deliveries with his old biplane. 8-)

Visit our Sunday-School Air Port; come on a glorious flight
Far to the lands of the Bible, shining in radiant light.
Straight through the heaven of beauty bathed in the sunshine of love,
Come on a tour of the Bible all other journeys above!
Airships are waiting and ready, the pilots are steady and true;
Off we are starting next Sunday, and here is a ticket for you!
