[POSTCARDS]. Lot of over 200 assorted RPPCs. V.p., v.d (American, majority pre-1920). Mixed lot of real photo postcards, including hotels; a tornado disaster, Omaha, 1913; Leslie, Mich. railroad station, 1907 [Ringling Bros. circus posters posted to side of nearby building]; automobiles; families; pets; churches; houses; an album of Cambridge, MA and Harvard University; and assorted others. Some titled in negative, others without identification; many apparently concentrated to Midwestern states. Lot also includes an outstanding cross-country vernacular photo album of 1910s U.S. and Canada photos, many postcard-size, including railroads, a fake posed lynching, logging, hunting, fishing, parades, ferry boats, horse-racing, and skiing; and approximately 40 litho Michigan postcards, chiefly Bay City and Saginaw. NICE LOT.
