MAY. Two unused SSSS real photo postcards showing front & side views of a gasoline-powered White Motor Company railbus (number 3 of 3) received by the Hawaii Consolidated Railway (its logo conspicuously on the side) for passenger traffic (tourist & local commuter) near its company shops in Waiakea. The gentleman on the left is Richard W. Filler, HCR Manager. On the right is Ezra Amos May, HCR brake expert who later became yardmaster. By the newness of the vehicle, and by the real photo type, we can date the view to circa 1924-1925. Under magnification we can see that the motorman / ticket-taker's entry from the left side was more narrow than the entry for passengers on the right. Obviously each postcard is one-of-a-kind: no captioning, no photographer attribution & no publisher attribution. One of the 8 corners has trivial wear; back paper starting to brown evenly with age. We have not seen their likes elsewhere. Railbus real photos are rare for any railroad, anytime (these are early) & anywhere. They were meant to provide economical passenger service at a times & places where passenger traffic was declining. These belong together in a museum. $180.00 either or $350.00 gets them both. h(h)r(h)gg

Large size: a little longer than a continental postcard, but not quite as tall. The hay carrier was invented by them in 1884 & double harpoon forks were invented in 1892, which gives us a basis for our estimated age as the Columbian Exposition (which was a World's Fair) in 1893.

Z. M. Nellams sold his grocery business to John J. Smith as reported in the 10/9/09 Topeka Merchants Journal on page 18.

During his imprisonment & exploitation by the Sudanese religious leader Muhammad Ahmad bin Abd Allah (the Mahdi or 'guided one'), he wore about 60 pounds of chains at all times. So this image is obviously after he had been freed, when he was staying at Aswan with his sister during the time we quote here. Someday we have no doubt his adventures (and misadventures!) will make an interesting movie. SOLD RECENTL spge#
