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.

Aar means years in Danish. A man with that name lived in Stevens County Wisconsin from 1889 to 1980; at 20 years of his age, it would date the photo to 1909 which is consistent with Kruxo paper (used 1908 - 1910). $12.00 mg(m)w(s)

Coe" monochromatic violet undivided back postcard with black caption, mailed there 1906 by Nellie Murphy (to her mother in Hartford), some extraneous writing on the back, toning on the front, several white lines in sky we are at a loss to explain--printer error?, minor rounding to the corners. $7.00 c(l)g

MYERS. "F. E. Myers & Bro. // ASHLAND / OHIO // Force / AND / Lift Pumps / AND / Hay Tools // WORLDS / FAIR" and wonderful art in full color depicting elves around a globe.

Detailed agricultural product list over all the back: combination hay carriers, stacking carrier outfits, double harpoon forks, Walker forks, knot passing pulleys, thresher tank pumps & many more. 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. Sold but front side still available for scholarly study & research as an enlarged (about 771% of original print area) & enhanced 200-dpi scan in .jpg format. $2.00 oaafge*

C. & MEMPHIS R.P.O. RMS hand cancel) to Arthur & Arnold Nash in St. Louis Missouri from their father, writing on front (old habits die hard), trivial corner & edge wear. Rare. Why? The Fort Scott Central Railway (so named because it went through the center of Fort Scott) became part of the Missouri Pacific Railway a little later in 1909; we doubt that the larger system saw the importance publicizing this view. $9.00 k(f)r(f)g(n)

Cover is rough, with a lot of pencil writing, toning both sides & other wear; it is handstamped 'W. C. NEU GARAGE / WINCHESTER , OHIO'.

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#
