Real photo postcard young man in knickers Real photo postcard approx. 3 1/5 inches x 5 1/2 inches of young man in suit, but wiht knickers instead of long pants. Unused postally. Age obvious on back and minor scuffs along edges. There are three marks on the image but they are smooth and I suspect these were marks on the photographers plates/negatives because the surface is smooth. No idea as to origin.
 

Real photo postcard of Ohio boy Real photo postcard of young man from Sandusky Ohio. He's standing next to a very ornately carved chair and doesn't look very happy. Maybe he didn't like the knickers. Postally sent with 1 cent stamp to Mt. Clemens, Michigan. Minro bumps around edge.

Very old picture of Teamsters and teams This very old picture of Teamsters and their teams (as it's handwritten on the back) is approximately 8 inches by 10 inches. The image itself is about 5 by 7 inches. Small tear to bottom of picture. Mounting board is not in greatest of shape, see image, but would frame nicely. The back of the pictures has Sowvenski or Sawvenski handwritten twice, in addition to the title Teamsters & their teams. In addition to the various men, there are quite a few horses in this image.

Barclay Coal Company. Nice image of a train. The check has been punched with an X of some sort, which might have indicated it was processed.
