A black and white photograph of an oil derrick, possibly at Montebello, ca. 1920s.

Next to the tanks and metal pipes appears to be a stack of lumber. In the background is possibly the Montebello hills. There are minor stains mostly on the reverse, photographer's stamps of "VELOX" and "26." It is in good condition overall.
