Antique RPPC Old Milwaukee, Wisconsin Saloon W/Old Bag & Cigar Ad Posted 1910
Item History & Price
PHOTO:
What we have here is an old real photo postcard (RPPC) of a rather handsome saloon from Milwaukee, Wisconsin (or the general area). It is postmarked December 29, 1910, making this a little over 108 years of age. It's looking very good for its age.
The saloon is a fairly well-put together place, with clean spitoons and a nice backbar and everything. Against the back wall we can see a framed lithograph of a brewery, an old calender, and at last one add for Barrett cigars. Ar...ound the saloon we can see a few other ads, including one for "Automobiles For Hire" above the backbar mirror.
There are five people visible in the saloon. On the far left-hand side is an old woman in a big, black Victorian-style dress (there is an old pay telephone just over her shoulder). There are three customers at the bar (all in hats) and a singe bartender (hatless).
And in case you were wondering: Yes this is an original postcard! As with all of my photos and postcards, this is an original. It is not a reproduction or a fake or copy or anything else. It's the real McCoy!
CONDITION:
Great shape. Posted. Slight wear around the edges of the photograph, but nothing major or disturbing. No major damage to speak of. A rock-solid photograph. Displays well. Please see photos for fuller details. Pet/Smoke/DDD free.
POSTAGE:Posted. 1c 1910 Green Benjamin Franklin Stamp. Post marked December 26 1910; Milwaukee, Wisconsin.
SIZE:
It is a standard postcard size: 5.5 x 3.5 inches.
SHIPPING:
USPS First Class Mail. Will ship safe and secure. Can combine upon request! Also, unfortunately, the price of postage has gone up, which means that so are my costs! C'est la vie! Let me know if you have any other needs or requests as far as shipping is concerned!
ETC:
If you are into old photographs of the American pre-Prohibition saloons, bars, cigar stores, and so forth, towns, and people, or if you enjoy imagery of the "Old West" such as Red Dead Redemption (or westerns in general), then check out my other auctions and sales! I have plenty more old things like this from all over the country for sale, with even more on the way (as well as a lot of other weird stuff). So, if you like antiques, photographs, and bygone, "old fashioned" American, then follow my account!
Thanks for your time and don't hesitate to ask me any questions! In the mean time, happy bidding!
