The caption at the bottom of this postcard reads: "Steam Shovel/National Fireproofing Co., Hobart, Ind." The photo is attributed to "M.L. Photo," which isn't very helpful since I still don't know much about that enterprise.
The back of the postcard is no help, either, in narrowing down a date.
No postmark, no stamp box, no printer's name. The vertical dividing line at center seems to be composed of letters, but even at 4800 dpi I can't read them.
The postcard is now the property of the Hobart Historical Society.
I wonder if this steam shovel was ever operated by our friend, Charles Dewell?

The vertical letters look to me like "HOBART LOCALIA" . Which doesn't make much sense.
