What a colorful and interesting scene this is. Not only does it show a handsome fire station, but also vehicles, fire fighters, and the horse power that fueled the machinery. The card shows a tiny bit of corner wear and writing on divided back. It was never sent, but it has been written on across the dividing line with no attempt at an address. The writing is a little hard to read, but the gist of it is the writer was busy with company and likes the recipient's choice of cards. Nothing too exciting there, but the picture at the front is great. Card will arrive in a brand new plastic sleeve. View more info

Condition: Very good condition
Great action image of the New York City Fire Department fighting a 1921 blaze. There's no indication as to what part of the city it was, as the reverse side shows no explanation, no message, and no postage. The back is not divided and the only writing is a penciled note which reads "N.Y. City Fire Dept, 1921" and a number, perhaps from an earlier dealer. The back also shows a bit of paper adhered to left hand side, likely from having been tipped into an album. Card is over-sized at 3-3/4" x 6". will arrive in plastic sleeve. View more info

This sepia real photo postcard shows a glimpse of the small town of Seville, Ohio located in Medina County. The date was March 25, 1913, the second to the last of the disaster which began on the 23rd and ended on the 26th. It was called The Great Flood not only because of the devastation, but because it was also widespread hitting not only Ohio, but also Indiana, Kentucky, New York and Pennsylvania. I'm not sure what street this is, but two signs show the Livery and Gabe's Restaurant, both of which are at left. There's some people by the restaurant and one vehicle on the right. The card has b...
