PLEASE NOTE: We have a 1913 Sherwood Oregon School photo listed and will soon be listing more Northwest images.
The actual photo is close to our photos above. It is a nice brown with a golden tone and has good contrast. We will COMBINE PURCHASES to save you money. For example if you purchase 1 or 10 or more postcards, the total shipping cost the same. We can no longer charge a flat fee as the USPS has raised the cost ...for rigid First Class Mail and it is based upon region. You can calculate your postage at ebay's ap below. If you purchase postcards and a large format postcard, the shipping fee will be that of the larger, heavier photo. IMPORTANT: PLEASE AWAIT OUR INVOICE IF YOU PURCHASE MULTIPLES TO RECEIVE THE DISCOUNTED POSTAGE OR EBAY WILL OVERCHARGE POSTAGE.DESCRIPTION: Thisis an interesting antique Real Photo Postcard. It is a photo of the interior of a cast iron stove and furnace store. A gentleman poses, most likely the proprietor. There is a sign hanging at the right marked Peninsular Furnaces, Stoves, just above an ornate cast iron range and to the right is an ornate cast iron wood burning stove. The Peninsular Stove Company was founded by James Dwyer in 1881 in Detroit. There were many stove manufacturing companies in Detroit employing 7, 500 people. Unfortunately, there no identifying marks as to the location of the store. The postcard is a brown color with a gold tone and has good contrast. The photo is in very good condition with slightly bumped corner tips, the upper left a little more so. There is a little wear at some of the edges. If you turn the postcard to catch glare, you see a handful of tiny and very narrow marks that look like small spatters. This means the area is just a little bit matte, not as shiny as the rest of the surface. This can only be seen with glare. It is not really worth mentioning, but we prefer not to omit. The back has a darken stain that does not show up on front. The postcard is 5 3/8 by 3 3/8 inches and we estimate this to be from 1910 or so, give or take a couple short years. What a nice photo of the inside of a cast iron stove shop!Our reserve is the opening bid. The red watermarks do NOT appear on the actual photo.PLEASE NOTE: We pack with great care using heavy cardboard. If you are aninternational buyer, please email to inquire regarding shippingrates. Please contact us with any questions. To save you money, we can ship additionalitems at no cost, but PLEASE await our invoice before paying. Ebay will not allow modification of the invoice.
