Warning: The originals photos, texts, films, music, etc ... of the period previous to 1921 year -see the Act of the US Congress about it - have no copyright and belong to the public domain. However, those same pictures, I process this blog, when I restore and paint the pictures, then the right of modification is produced, ie that are protected by full copyright law, in this case mine. Of course there are many more laws in the world, declared in the public domain photographs (which is the topic at hand), in very later dates to the aforementioned (Example: WWII, Korea, etc ...) .

U.S. Simplex Armored Car, 1915.
U.S. Simplex Armored Car of 1915
The armored
car was performed on the chassis of the Toy Tonneau Simplex 4 Passenger 1913
model. The ceramic license plate indicates that this is 1915. Given that
license plates of American civilian’s vehicles, at that time, were granted and
renewed annually, this indicates that the photograph was made in 1915. This characteristic car license plate (dark with clear numbers and date vertically to the right), reduced to 5 or 6 U.S. states that could belong to this Simplex Armored Car in 1915. The civil right is probably a journalist,
so that the photograph corresponds to
the public presentation of this armored car.
On identifying this vehicle can see this post of Landships. In it you can see two different ways to confront this issue of identification of an armored car: the one precipitated and erroneous and the other reasoned and correct.

Coche Blindado
Simplex norteamericano de 1915
Este coche blindado fue realizado sobre el chasis del
modelo Simplex Toy Tonneau 4 Passenger de 1913. La placa cerámica de la
matrícula nos indica que ésta es de 1915. Dado que las matrículas en esa época
eran concedidas y renovadas anualmente, se deduce que la fotografía fue
realizada en 1915. Esta característica matrícula (oscura con los números claros y la fecha en vertical a la derecha) reduce a 5 ó 6 los estados
norteamericanos a los que podría pertenecer este Coche Blindado Simplex en 1915. El civil
de la fotografía probablemente sea un periodista,
por lo que ésta correspondería a la presentación pública del coche blindado.
Sobre la identificación de este vehículo podéis ver este post de Landships. En el podréis observar dos formas diferentes de enfrentarse a la cuestión de la identificación de un coche blindado: una precipitada y errónea y la otra razonada y correcta.

Spanish Schneider-Brillié Armored Car, Model 1909. The first "Armored Car" in the world that was used in real war actions.
Schneider-Brillié
Armored Car, Model 1909, of the Spanish Army.
It was the first armored car in the world to be
used operationally in actual combat missions (Morocco, January 20, 1912) (*). The crew consisted of 16 men and was armed with two
Maxim machine guns and 10 Mauser rifles.
Note the use of colors (or tones contrasting
monochrome) of camouflage in the vehicle, something unheard of at the time
(winter 1910-1911), since the concept of disruptive forms would not be
conceived until 1915, during the First World War.
At the Armored Car Schneider was
assigned, in the Spanish Army, denomination: ARTILLERY No. 15.
(*) The second armored car in the world used in
combat, was the Italian Fiat-Arsenale, manufactured in Turin in July 1912.
Shortly thereafter would be sent to Libya, where he would participate in the
last operations of the Italo-Turkish War.
Coche Blindado Schneider-Brillié, del
Ejécito Español, Modelo 1909.
Fue el
primer coche blindado del mundo que se utilizó operativamente en misiones
reales de combate (Marruecos, 20 de enero de 1912) (*). La
tripulación constaba de 16 hombres y el vehículo estaba armado con dos
ametralladoras Maxim y 10 fusiles Mauser.
Obsérvese
la utilización de colores (o tonos mono-cromo contrastados) de camuflaje en el
vehículo, algo insólito en ese momento (invierno de 1910-1911), ya que el
concepto disruptivo de las formas no sería concebido hasta 1915, durante la
Primera Guerra Mundial.
Al Coche
Blindado Schneider se le asignó, en el ejército español, la denominación: ARTILLERÍA Nº 15.
(*) El segundo
coche blindado en el mundo, utilizado en acciones de combate, fue el
Fiat-Arsenale italiano, realizado en Turín en julio de 1912. Unos meses después
sería enviado a Libia, donde participaría en las últimas operaciones de la
Guerra Italo-Turca.
