"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

Uncaptioned
& unused sepia-tone Azo (triangles up) real photo post card showing a
Standard Oil Company horse-drawn delivery wagon, back paper browning with
age. Signage as follows (left-to-right): USE MICA AXLE GREASE, KEROSINE AND
PERFECTION OIL, STANDARD OIL CO. The seemingly strange alternate spelling
was used for industrial purposes because Kerosene had become a genericized
trade mark. Kerosine/Kerosene was use in lamps of the day; Perfection Oil
was used in smokeless oil heaters. Sold but front
side still available for scholarly study & research as an enlarged 300-dpi scan
(publication quality) in .jpg format for $3.75. oh

sepia-tone Azo (triangles up) real photo postcard showing the horse-drawn
Conestoga wagon (guarded
by US troopers) recreating the shipment of powder to Perry in Erie
Pennsylvania from Wilmington Delaware, part of the Perry Victory centennial
6/2/13 to 7/7/13. Good focus & contrast helps for exact location -- Jordan's
Drug Store signage & Keystone in 1913 Pennsylvania license plate (auto at
left) means this is Bedford Pennsylvania, where the store had mentions in
the Bedford Gazette from 1908 to 1925. [Checking the map, the journey would
have gone west along what is now I-76 through Bedford, before heading north
on what is now I-79.] Excellent condition overall. Sold but front
side still available for scholarly study & research as an enlarged 300-dpi scan
(publication quality) in .jpg format for $3.75. p(b)h
Uncaptioned sepia-tone real photo post card showing a uniformed fireman
ready to drive a coach-like vehicle pulled by 2 horses, intricate fittings
for multiple hoses at the side of the vehicle--to allow several shorter
hoses to be hooked up to a feeder hose coming from a distant hydrant.
Contrast is excellent & depth of field is too. We have never seen the likes
of this vehicle before. Tiny bottom corner crease; all corners with minor rounding; oxidation
consistent with circa-1908 age. 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

"U.S.
MAIL / R.F.D. / No. 2 / WESTVILL[E] / N. ..." // RURAL FREE DELIVERY" unused
sepia-tone postcard with unevenly toned divided back, faint upper corner
crease, minor corner wear. How do we know it is Westville New Jersey? The
Westville New York post office was discontinued in 1907 (pre-divided back);
there is no Westville New Hampshire; there is no Westville North Carolina; &
there is no Westville North Dakota. That is how we know where this
surprising scene actually was, even though they tried to obscure the last
letters of the town & state abbreviation to keep us guessing. What fun!

"WE
CAN SAVE YOU MONEY ON A PIANO / COLLER, ADDISON." with the horse-drawn
delivery wagon of E. M. Coller Pianos & Organs, signage on side mentions
sewing machines & nearby Tecumseh, next to several crates of upright pianos
shipped from New York by Kroeger; sepia-tone Cyko real photo postcard with
good focus, message written on back also in red 'Let us make you prices and
terms on pianos'. Kroeger & Sons pianos are still noted for their
exceptional quality & design, somewhat simpler than the highly carved
Victorian styles. The Addison part of the caption is a small village in
Lenawee County; the Tecumseh on the wagon may be in case the onlooker had
not heard of Addison. Sold but front
side still available for scholarly study & research as an enlarged 300-dpi scan
(publication quality) in .jpg format for $3.75. m(a)mhag
"W.
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
