Seller ID: 0908
This is a rather localized item (Cleveland, Ohio area), but of interest to people who show horses, or have family members who did at one time. It's all marked up inside -- which is a GOOD thing in this instance -- as it provides the ranking of the winners in each race. It also includes a horse show prize list as a separate tri-fold brochure .Both items are very clean and the graphic on the cover of the main program is wonderful.Program measures 6-1/4"x9-1/4" and has 40 p...

Publisher: Barberton, Ohio, Unknown: 1911

At first glance this appears to be a giant pig -- which it is. But it's not just any old pig. This pig belonged to O.C. Barber, an entrepreneur extraordinaire, who succeeded with many businesses before launching this early effort at agribusiness. The card is postmarked Barberton, Ohio July 27, 1911 and sent to Mr. Sherman Lee of Seville, Ohio. The message reads, "This is one of O.C. Barber's thoroughbred pigs. He is a big one, isn't he? Tom Bairstow." Very clean and nic... View more info

Cute little book written in the French language for reading aloud to little people, or for learning to read French. It's small, measuring 5-1/2"x5" and has 10 full color pages with cute art and a short text. Booklet is clean and tightly bound with just a small bit of edge wear and former bookseller's stock number on a sticker at front. It's an old one though, so I did not have the courage to try to remove it.Rather hard to find. View more info

The bright color of this ad and its matching envelope caught my attention immediately, but after reading it it occurred to me that I have never had anything produced by Zenner-Raymond until now. The ad is complete as you see it, printed only on the front, and fits inside the envelope which measures 3-1/2"x6". Love the bold exterior message: Zenoleum Sheep Dip Is Not Poisonous." The postmark reads Detroit April 28, 1898 -- the ad was created from an 1897 study conducted b... View more info

Publisher: Portugal, Unknow Publisher: Unknown Date
Seller ID: 1502
This is an unusual card from Portugal. A wealthy couple sits comfortably in wicker seats in a cart that looks as though it glides on runners like a sleigh. But why? No snow! Also, where does the driver sit? And which man IS the driver? Perhaps they just walk alongside the cart -- it's guaranteed to be in the slow lane! Overall, the card is charming, perhaps because of its oddities. It has not been used and will arrive in a plastic sleeve. View more info

Strader Lexington, Kentucky. The card is criso and clean, has not been used and will arrive in a brans new plastic sleeve. View more info

This is without question the most ephemeral postcard ever. The body of the flamingo is covered with a variety of actual feathers in an array of colors. The card is very nice overall, but does show a few tiny soil marks at the area of the neck just next to the feathers. I don't dare try to do anything about it for fear of damage.Tthe only other fault is a small flat crease to left lower corner. Card has a one cent postage stamp, but it was never marked. There's no indicat... View more info
