Quick note.....lets keep this thread "internet scrounge/troll free" and limit posts to ads we own. I do not mean to offend anyone but We could load it up quick with undocumented internet images or reproductions. I know I spend a lot of money and time collecting and documenting my collection. Images from museum collections are fine......
Thanks,
M

Picked up a 1908 Mallory postcard from Ebay. Scanned the card and did a little cleanup in Photoshop. "In a field by itself", with railroad tracks going by. I have to research advertising billboards of the early century to see if this is a proper representation or a gimmick.

Recently observed two postcards from this collection that were used, they were postmarked 1914. So this set dates to at least then........
