Apparently a hotdog was definitively a sandwich in 1907. Unless a frankfurter was something else

Nope, the frankfurter sausage is the immediate precursor to the American "hot dog," and it's entirely likely that what was being sold by this huckster was the latter.

A hot dog has never not been a sandwich.
