From an estate in Pennsylvania. Very cool photo of early fire fighting equipment. I would date to 1880-1890s based on the equipment and style. I believe I can read \"Sharpsburg\" on the hose reel. Silver gelatin print mounted on the basic chipboard common to the time.
As with most of my paper items, this piece will be sleeved in plastic and shippedvia insured USPS Ground Advantagein a stiff cardboard envelope to protect it from damage.
I have a large inventory of vintage paper: Some of it is in perfect shape and some is in rough condition. Things to look out for in the photos are page yellowing, corner bumping, rips and tears, handwriting, etc. --- normal flaws in old paper.
PLEASE READ FAQs:
1. YES. I combine shipping. If this is an sale, please wait for an invoice to pay. If this is a Buy It Now listing, please put the items in one cart and pay the total as shown. I will then adjust the shipping fees when I pack up and ship the items.
2. When I photograph a paper item, the first two photos are usually the front and back covers next to a ruler. This is how you can determine the size. Please check this before asking what size the booklet or catalog is. I also try to shoot a photo of the last numbered page in the item so you can know how many pages there are.
3. Carefully examine my studio-quality photographs. I do my best to document any flaws or issues. I tend to go overboard in showing flaws. I hate surprises when I buy on as much as you do. I also do my best to accurately describe the items I find.
4. I basically sell \"As Is.\" That said, I will accept returns if I have been negligent in my listing information. This includes outright mistakes, misrepresentations, or any errors on my part. I do not know everything about everything (don\'t tell my kids that please). If you are not sure about something and want to \"try it out\" at home before having \"Buyer\'s remorse,\" please do not offer. Every sale or estate sale I go to is \"as is.\" I do better than that with my return policy. I mess up once in a while and I have honored all legitimate returns. Please respect this policy.
5. If there is a problem please contact me via messaging and we will reach a solution.
