Description

The letter + number in the title is for my inventory system. This tells me what bin and tab your item(s) are in, not the quantity that you are receiving. eBay Standard Envelope only provides tracking updates when it passes through sorting machines. USPS workers have no way of scanning the barcode. When it marks it as "out for delivery/delivered" it means it has arrived at your local sorting center, not your home address. Depending on your postal route, it could take several days for it to arrive at its final destination. Delivery time can take upwards of 2 full weeks to arrive. This captivating Real Photo Postcard (RPPC) from May 17, 1910, captures a dramatic street scene centered around a building engulfed in smoke, indicating a significant fire event. A large crowd of onlookers has gathered on the wet street, creating a vivid snapshot of early 20th-century urban life and community response to disaster. The detailed composition, featuring multi-story brick buildings including one marked "COULTER" and another prominently displaying "SHANKLIN'S" near the fire, offers a glimpse into the architecture and businesses of the era. The image's sepia tones and sharp focus are characteristic of genuine photographic postcards from this period. Produced by the photographer Mundell, as indicated on the front, this postcard is printed on Cyko paper, a popular choice for real photo postcards of the time, known for its quality and durability. The handwritten date 5/17/10 on the front and "Fire!" on the reverse further authenticate its historical context. This collectible RPPC serves as a unique historical document, offering a rare visual record of a community event and the artistry of early photographers. It's an excellent piece for collectors of historic fire memorabilia, real photo postcards, or those interested in early 20th-century Americana and specific town histories.
