Mable in a Buggy

From the Schavey envelope collection.

On the back of this tattered and faded photograph, someone has written: "Mable Schavey Breyfogle – 1921(?)" The question mark is in the original, which must have been written later, since, in 1921, she was Mable Schavey.

The young woman at left certainly looks like Mable, so I suppose the question is about the exact date. If it's off, I don't think it's off by much. The fact that they are in a buggy doesn't rule out the 1920s; people still used horse-drawn buggies and wagons into the 1930s and even 1940s, or so I am told. The style of their clothing looks pretty much consistent with 1921.
