"115. Cherrelyn Horse Car, Denver, Colo." overloaded with passengers, some
seated on top, horse backed onto a platform for the downward descent to
Hampden & Broadway, postcard mailed 1908 at Colorado Springs, 2 corners with
heavy creases, mild wear to the other 2 corners, unfortunate cancel ink on
front. As is. $2.50 sc(e)h
"1691. Cherrelyn Horse Car,
Denver Colo." post card showing it with passengers about to descend (horse backed onto
the platform) to Hampden & Broadway, noticeably worn edges, pasted onto a
back that simply does not belong (place or time). Despite the caption, the
scene is in Englewood Colorado, which is south of Denver. The line ran from
1883 to 1910. $3.75 sc(e)h
"2066--The Midnight Fire Alarm, New York" with fire engine drawn by three
horses, circa 1907 postcard, much corner & edge wear, 2
corner creases. Published by the Souvenir Post Card Company. 
"2B-H698" linen postcard mailed 1942 in the re-election campaign of N. A.
Thatcher, county auditor. Scene depicts the court house there in 1884, with
horse-drawn trolley to Union depot, and others traveling by horse or wagon.
Faint lower corner crease, some cancel ink in the sky. $4.00 cpo(c)h
"25 Equipage de Bonnelles - Dépeçage du Cerf avant la Curée" showing a
hunting party at the summer home of the President of France, butchering a
deer before the dogs get the rest, including a fancy horse-drawn wagon
prominently at the left; black & white postcard carte postale with green
back, faint small corner crease, small spots of very light toning in the
sky. Writing on back from a series of messages which explained the scene to
us. $9.50 hhf(b)
"5273. LYON - Fontaine Bartholdi Fontaine monumentale en plomb martelé et repoussé, / représentant la Rivière entraînee vers la mer par /
quatre chevaux marins ..." unused carte postale from booklet, green back
that is thinned in 5 spots from album removal. $1.00 nfh
"532 - Harvesting Scene, Combined Header and Thresher" loaded with men &
pulled by several horses, Mitchell-published postcard with legible writing
all over the back in pencil, small upper corner crease, mild wear at the
other corners. This view comes with several different captions in differing
colors & text; so check your album! $2.75 ahm
"546--Cherrelyn Horse Car, Denver" showing it fully loaded, the horse backed
onto the platform for a downward ride to Hampden & Broadway, unused
undivided back post card, minor corner wear. Despite the caption, the scene
is in Englewood Colorado, which is south of Denver. The line ran from 1883
to 1910. $8.50 sc(e)h
"
"921. PARIS-Moderne - Les femmes cochers / Hé cochère ! Êtes vous libre?
C. M." man hails a female driving a fiacre, asking if she is free; carte
postale with subtle colors mailed 1909 from Paris to Portland Maine, stamp
removed with slight thinning to the back paper, light toning both sides. The
question in the caption is the beginning of at least one French joke: when
the cabby replies that she is, the rejoinder is 'Alors, vive la liberté!' or
'Then long live liberty!' with so many double-entrendres that we dare not
list them here. $14.50
tf(p)h 
"A 4-11 FIRE ALARM, CHICAGO." signed art (looks like A. Fleury) depicting a
horse-drawn fire engine racing towards a nearby blaze, postcard from V. O.
Hammon (their number 518 on back), used there 1908, extensive toning on
back, sender's message in the sky (permitted then) disparages the city. We
doubt this postcard got much use or further printing; it was just too hard
to read messages against the almost-all-dark colors. $10.00 fhi
"A C Wilson. returned cases
to a customer at Peebles Ohio." showing a side view of the horse-drawn wagon
with him standing beside it; Cyko real photo postcard. Albert 'Bert' C. Wilson was about 30 years
old when this obviously unique photo was taken; his descendants are still
prominent in that community. The best Adams County postcard we have ever
seen. 
"A horse car Smyrna / Turkey" showing the fully loaded car itself
(rather than the horse) & a winsome girl posing nearby the single-rail line
that took tourists around the bay; slight oxidation consistent with circa
1910 - 1920 age, sepia-tone Azo (triangles both ways) real photo postcard
with caption from pencil writing on back from a reliable source. Rare
subject, but we do believe that a photo like it is in the United States Library of
Congress. 
"A. J.
Riedman--Livery--Brookville, Ind." showing a carriage available for hire there;
unused sepia-tone real photo post card with divided back, light oxidation
consistent with age, good edges. A livery business would generally care,
feed & stable horses of others & rent out their own (for funerals, for example).
As Brookville was & still is a fairly small town, we speculate that Riedman
bought out the livery of Dr. Hanna there when the veterinarian obtained his
degree, and then circulated some postcards associating this new name with that
business. Seldom offered. 
"Alliance,
O. / School Wagon" approximately 6-1/2"x4-3/4" sepia-tone real photo of a
high school girls class posed with their teacher on a horse-drawn school
wagon, uncaptioned so we used all the writing on the back. School wagons
were used for field trips, and were not the same as school buses. Uncommon
subject matter. $20.00 o(a)ge LOST BUT NOW FOUND!
"A.
RITTIGSTEIN / HARDWARE & ... // 971 / BROADWAY // E. JOHNSON / CHIMNEY /
SWEEP // E. JOHNSON / CHIMNEY SWEEP / 971 BROADWAY / PRONE OAK 2176"
in Oakland California with attention-getting wagon & 2 workers in costume
before the business (name & address on awning) established by Jewish
immigrant (from Czernowitz Bukovina ) Adolph Rittigstein. Sepia-tone Azo
(triangles up) real photo divided back post card with wonderful
depth-of-field & lighting that brings out the details. The Rittigstein (& Son) business
prospered by supplying paints, oils, hardware, locksmithing & chimney
sweeping services from 1889 - 1910. Belongs in a museum. Sold but front
side still available for scholarly study & research as an enlarged 300-dpi scan
(publication quality) in .jpg format for $3.75.

"Aug. 20, 1910 / Potosia, / Iowa" showing several couples in horse-drawn
vehicles (a good part of the town?) out for a picnic, caption from writing
on front, sepia-tone real photo post card with slight oxidation, one
corner with multiple creases & tiny tear (none of which affects the image,
other corner & edge wear is minor. First names of three pictured written in
by sender include George & Lillian. Possibly unique. $17.00 ih
Azo (triangles up) real
photo postcard showing a fire engine on parade, fully loaded with firemen, 3
white horses pulling it at speed past admiring spectators; unused, mild
oxidation consistent with age, a little wear along the top edge. $15.00 f
"Barcelona
Teatro Principal" with a horse-drawn & electrified streetcars passing in
front of it, postcard with unevenly divided back mailed to Richmond Indiana
& forwarded from there to Idlewild Michigan, violet handstamp of HOTEL
PENINSULAR / BARCELONA in the back message area, stamp removed, 3 corners
creased, 1/4-inch tear in one short edge, other noticeable wear at corners.
As is. $1.50 tssh
"BEST
PEDIGREED Percheron, French Coach, and / Belgian brook mares or fillies
delivered at your R. R. Station. If interested: / think about it and write
to AUGUST ROGY, Box 185, Central Post Office, / Paris, France // 745
ND Phot." unused divided-back postcard, light album impressions at the back
corners, a little red ink transferred to the back in the production process,
exceptionally fresh for its 100-year-plus age. This business is mentioned as
early as 1874 in the New York Times. We found references to it in 1887 &
1892, so it was quite successful. 
"BONNE ANNÈE / PAIX ET ABONDANCE" signed Mastroianni art showing a chariot
being pulled through the clouds by 4 horses, wishing the recipient peace &
abundance. 
"BUFFALO
BILL'S DEADWOOD STAGE COACH" pulled by 6 mules, color on an undivided back
postcard, light album marks at corners, mild wear at one corner,
exceptionally fresh for its age
"Canadian
Rural Life: 'Gathering in the Hay'" with 2 farmers filling a horse-drawn
wagon, souvenir post card with undivided back printed in Great Britain,
mailed 1908 from Fairville New Brunswick to Charlestown Massachusetts, toned
back with partial of the wagon wheel color as well, upper corner creased
twice, other corners worn, short internal crease from the bottom. $2.25 cha
"...CAPO'S RAPID TRANSIT AT NORTH BEACH" showing a commercial horsecar
loaded with passengers; unused sepia-tone Azo (triangles both ways) real
photo post card, paper starting to brown evenly with age, trivial corner
wear & rounding. Rare.
"CAPO'S NORTH BEACH
R. R. / HARRIS" showing the horse-drawn trolley fully loaded with
well-dressed passengers on tracks connecting Saint Augustine Florida to the
nearby North Beach area. Unused sepia-tone real photo Cyko postcard with
good contrast & focus, trivial corner wear. A little pen writing neatly near
the bottom edge: "OK Show" probably a photographer's proof offered to the
Capo family that never made it to commercial postcard status -- at least
when we looked we could not find a single example exhibited or offered on
the internet.
"Carlinville Ill. ... 9-12-09 ...This is a picture of us driving across
country from one of other farms." uncaptioned (so we quote from the back
message) sepia-tone real photo postcard mailed SEP 13 1909 at Carlinville,
small upper corner crease, tiny tear at top center edge, bottom corner with
2 small creases, oxidation consistent with age. The sturdiness of these
horse-drawn buggies is evident as the men perch or lean on the tops. 
"Carrera
Chile Quito [Ecuador printed at end]" with horse-drawn traffic &
pedestrians, unused tarjeta postal with divided back, small red check mark
inked on back, light toning both sides, minor edge wear, just a little
longer than most regular-size postcards. $1.50 eh
"CHALET
COCHAND STE. MARGUERITE P.Q. CANADA (COPYRIGHT E-C)" including a
man on horseback, real photo post card with good contrast & focus, mailed
JUL 11 47 at Ste-Marguerite Station Quebec to Mr & Mrs. Robert Hobson in
Bridgeport Connecticut, minor wear to the bottom corners. $5.00 q(s)h
"CHEMICAL
ENGINE No 2 / BELLAIRE FIRE DEP'T. / 182345 Bellaire, Ohio" with 2
horses pulling specialized equipment manufactured by Merryweather & Sons
1902 - 1914. The top fitting behind the drivers carried a lead bottle of
sulfuric acid (punctured by turning a handle at the rear), which reacted
with a water/bicarbonate solution in the lower rear copper cylinder causing
carbon dioxide gas to expel the liquid at high pressure. For communities
that could afford such specialization, fire fighters could provide
near-instant response on arrival at a fire scene, whilst other engines were
delayed getting their connections to a hydrant. There is a long
horizontal crease which will not occupy your attention for long; the corners are rounded; message
was
dated January 22 1910. We are told the man holding the reins is Jacob Roy
McMillen. Another example of this postcard is in the book 'Images of America
/ Bellaire' by Holly Bruno and Andrew Ehritz. Another is in a museum.
Under high magnification a curved BELLAIRE OHIO is over the right front
wagon wheel. Definitely an uncommon postcard.
"Chicago
/ or Bust" uncaptioned (so we use all of the sign on the horse-drawn wagon)
sepia-tone real photo clearly cancelled at French N. Mex. FEB 5 1913 (DPO,
La Posta rarity 2). Addressee may well be in the picture, message states
'Here is the way you all looked when you left N. Mex.' Probably
one-of-a-kind: no caption, no photographer attribution, no publisher
mentioned. Sold but front side still available for scholarly study &
research as an enlarged 300-dpi scan (publication quality) in .jpg format
for $3.75. n(f)h-n
"Cincinnati / Fire Department / Headquarters. / Home of Fire Company No. 3,..." with
three horse-drawn wagons, 
Clear
AU 10 1933 Columbus Ohio machine cancel ties damaged-in-opening 3¢
Washington stamp franking #10 envelope conveying 4 full-page letter on 2
illustrated letterheads from M. Mae Palmer to her husband A. T. Palmer
(proprietors of the Maeland Stock Farm in Dublin Ohio) as he travelled with
the Hagenbeck-Wallace Circus, next-day arrival marked by light violet
double-ring Martinsburg WV hand cancel on back. These people trained and
boarded horses & harnesses suitable for heavy circus work. Aside from
personal remarks, the lady recounts in detail a fascinating & amusing
bargaining session where a prospective customer tried to buy or rent "the
tallyho" and harness for four. Their business did not last long, evidently
succumbing during the Depression. We found no mention of their business at
all when we searched the Internet. $22.00 o-ch
"Come
to the / Galt Horse Show / June 6th, 7th and 8th, 1907 // „TILBURY” post
card numbered B. K. W. 1. (Brueder Kohn Wien 1 in Vienna Austria) 865-2 on
back, artist-signed (hard to read) at lower right mailed MY 31 07, published by W. G. Mac Farlane
Toronto-Buffalo-Vienna, minor corner wear. The Tilbury is a light open 2-wheeled carriage developed in the early
1800's in London England by the firm with the same name; falls from such
vehicles (bumps at speed) occurred & were dangerous. 
"Compliments of the Season / Ed. R Wyrick, / Rural Letter Carrier. R.
F. D. No. 1" with 16-line poem over all the back entitled 'To My Friends',
art the horse-drawn wagon of a mail carrier, circa 1908, size of a regular
postcard, light toning both sides from album contact. $4.50 phg-r
"Crossing
the Missouri / Near Buford, N. D." with a horse-drawn buggy on the ferry,
sepia-tone real photo post card. Unmailed, tiny corner bump, otherwise good edges. Rare. 
"Cutting Spring Wheat at Mac Leod, Alta." with a team of 4 horses
pulling the reaper, unused private post card published by Stedman
Brothers (their number S B 1877 on back), light album marks at the corners,
small upper corner crease, back paper browning evenly with age (circa 1910),
pen stroke over the head of one horse.
Now a residential neighborhood near Edmonton, we see the name spelled
McLeod. Uncommon; we could not find it offered or shown anywhere on the
internet when we looked. $7.00 a(m)ah
"Dayton, Covington And Piqua Traction Co. / FREIGHT STATION. / Fast Freight
and Express Service To All Points North, South, East And West" including 3
horse-drawn wagons backed into the station & an interurban waiting for a
load; unused Azo (triangles up) real photo post card with wonderful
contrast, composition & focus; good edges. Annotated on the back in pencil
by a local historian who we know to be reliable: "Dayton, Ohio - N. W.
Corner of Ludlow and Stout St. / Ticket Office 32 Ludlow at Arcade
Entrance". Most likely one-of-a-kind: no publisher or photographer credit, &
no caption as a commercial product would have. Belongs in a museum. SALE IN
PROGRESS o(d)r(d)
"Dear

never completed, Azo (triangles up) real photo postcard, small upper corner
crease, heavily toned back, toned front message area, minor corner rounding.
$5.00 hg(t)
"Divic bei Zvornik / Ducans an der Strasse" also captioned in
Cyrillic, black &
white village street scene with man riding cart, unused, circa 1900-1910. This Muslim
suburb was allegedly the site of the first 'ethnic cleansing' in the spring of 1992.
Postcard sold. Still available for scholarly study & research as a full-size & enhanced 72-dpi
scan in .jpg or .tif format. $1.50 bh

Šreihart / Bar Glass Ware / (&) Supplies // (Bras)s & Copper Polish"
uncaptioned (so we use the wagon signage) sepia-tone Azo (triangles up) real
photo addressed to Dr. Robert 'Bob' A. Blackford locally & messaged but
unmailed. Established by Bohemian immigrants in Manitowoc Wisconsin, the
Schreihart Brewery receives its phonetic Czech spelling here. It operated
from 1891 - 1920, and its etched glassware has proven to be uncommon & quite
valuable to modern collectors. Sold but front
side still available for scholarly study & research as an enlarged 300-dpi scan
(publication quality) in .jpg format for $3.75.

the 3 names handwritten under the photographer's handstamp on back, mounted
sepia-tone real photograph (approximately 6½"x4¼"), good focus & contrast,
slightly rounded corners as issued, unimportant small areas of toning near
back edges obscure nothing. Spanker is very small--e.g., it does not have a
Wikipedia article yet. $30.00 o(s)ph

"FARMERS(sic)
WIFE" uncaptioned (so we use all the horse-drawn parade float signage) Azo

"Fire Dept Union City IND" including 2 horses & 3 firefighters, monochromatic blue post card sent
by one of the firemen shown (named Thurman, x on hand in image), mailed
early 1908 from there, unfortunate tape thinning to the top center of the
card (causes a small indent that is hard to notice at first from the front).
Hard to find in any condition. $19.00 fhi
"FIRE ENGINE AT WORK, NEW
YORK" with caption taken from back, showing a crowd gathered around the back
end of a horse-drawn fire engine with hose deployed, partial

bottom corner crease not into the image, a little edge wear, long internal
creases in the upper left front, as is. Hard to find in any condition. 
"GARBEN'S BREAD / SPEAKS FOR ITSELF / CHAS. GARBEN
BAKING CO. / 176 N. CLARK" picturing a horse-drawn two-man wagon & 3 loaves
being delivered to a residence from this Chicago bakery; uncaptioned (so we used
the signage) sepia-tone real photo post card, addressed but conveyed in an
envelope. Message on back: 'All ready for moving day tomorrow ...The bakery is
glorious ... One of the drivers had this picture taken of one of the wagons.'
This bakery is mentioned in 1908 to 1913 newspapers, state documents &

D. Ackerson Company Market / W. Rogers Bakery / J. F. TUTTLE" including a
Swift & Company horse-drawn delivery wagon & personnel before it;
uncaptioned (so we use the storefront signage) & unused real photo postcard
with oxidation consistent with age, good edges. The scene is circa-1906 in
Newton New Jersey; we found a mentions of Ackerson in the State Treasurer's
accounts from 1902 - 1910. Possibly one-of-a-kind: no caption, no
photographer credit, no publisher information. Sold but front
side still available for scholarly study & research as an enlarged 300-dpi scan
(publication quality) in .jpg format for $3.75.
