Early unstyled John Deere A's and B's with wide front were also refered to as "Anteater front".

"Circa" is Latin. The convention used to be to use Latin words in italics, but I guess, no more.
Circa, c, ca, cca, etc. all signify the Latin word for "about" or "around."

In the context of most historical and anthropological documents, it means "around the time of."

Circa 1920s means it was built around that time but not exactly.

Its a way to give an idea of about when something was made. Say Circa (1900) or Circa (1930)
