Did Jayne Mansfield borrow Shirley Jones' Royal?
The very same question crossed my mind. Shirley is dressed a little more modestly, however,
Very nice photos Robert.
Image 2 shows different typs of Erikas, therefore i believe it's the testing department of a repair shop.
If you look at the second (counted from the bottom) machine you can recognize a note attached to it. The third machine shows heavy wear in the paint and the fourth machine is a different Erika model( lower side panel).
Thank you Richard, Bill and MS for your comments. The caption for image 2 simply states "Seidel & Naumann, Dresden".
