This undated image by photographer Nina Leen is merely captioned “Boy On Bicycle.” It fails to mention the animal tail used as a mudflap at the end of the rear fender!

    For you youngsters, it was common in the 20s, 30s and 40s to affix fox tails and raccoon tails to car antennae and other vehicular appendages.This looks much odder to our eyes than it would have back then. It was more likely intended as decoration than as a functional mudflap.

    Thanks KC. Somebody who knows cars (and don’t know cars) can probably figure out the year by looking at the autos on the street.
