"1910 / House moving from Lamro / to Winner" in Tripp County South Dakota, showing house-moving equipment hitched up to the Pioneer Saloon with its anxious owners alongside in automobiles, travelling as indicated by the handwritten caption; unused real photo post card, a few very small spots of light toning on back, trivial corner & edge wear. When the railroad connected to Winner, many residents of Lamro gave up their aspirations of being the Tripp County seat. Thirty Lamro structures were then moved across the plains in 1910 taking up new positions grouped together at one end of Winner. The Pioneer Saloon (listed in the 1908 Lamro directory) shown here, per visible signage, was one of those thirty. In 1910 the building became known as the Jay Weaver Saloon, named after the man who owned it during the move shown (who is probably in the picture); in 1911, it became the Guthrie Pool Hall; and in 1912-13, it became the Haisch & Company Meat Market. Obviously one-of-a-kind: no printed captions, no photographer attribution, no publisher attribution. Ultra rare. Belongs in a museum. SALE IN PROGRESS s(t)ua

"Automobile Railway, Eldorado Springs, Colo., C. & So. R. R." miscaptioned because each of the 3 cars on this segmented miniature railway train is distinctly labeled 'ELDORADO SPRINGS / RAILWAY CO.' or 'The Automobile Road / ELDORADO SPRINGS RAILWAY'. The Colorado & Southern referred to in the caption ran from 1898 to 1908; the Eldorado Springs Railway was incorporated in 1909 with the intention of servicing an amusement park with electrified passenger service. Thus, this rare postcard documents precisely the 1908 / 1909 transition. It is unused, faint album marks at the front corners; discoloration at the bottom 2 corners attributable to the original chromo-lithographic process itself. We have seen reproductions of this postcard offered at over $300.00; but why not own the real thing, available from us, for only $60.00! r(e)c(e)u

"Coates & McDonald / AERO / Unicycle Co. / 617 Liggett Building / St. Louis, Mo., U. S. A." postcard mailed FEB 8 1912 from St. Louis to Mr. & Mrs Lewis Schwarz in Detroit Michigan. Sender wrote in part: 'We are busy this wk. at Coleseum(sic) with this affair on other side. How would you like to ride this going at the rate of a mile a minute...'. According to the October 5 1911 Motor Age, the St. Louis Manufacturers' and Dealers' Association announced that it would remain inactive during 1912. So the exhibition referred to was held by the Missouri Automobile Dealers Association, formed chiefly to the purpose of holding the February 1912 show coincidentally with the Veiled Prophet Festival, availing itself of the numerous out-of-town visitors. The motorized unicycle idea is obviously hair-brained & dangerous: the driver's view is at all times obstructed and at speeds approaching 60 miles an hour it becomes an undertaking (and we choose that word carefully) only for those having a death wish. Evidently that is what most of the recipients of this advertising postcard believed, tossing it in the trash to give it the repose it deserved. To the best of our knowledge this is the only surviving example. A search of the Internet revealed no other offers, no previous recorded offers, and no exhibitions whatsoever. Sold but both sides still available for scholarly study & research as enlarged 300-dpi scans (publication quality) in .jpg format for $3.75 either or $7.25 both. me(l)u
