FORD AUTOMOBILE ART ON UNIQUE POST CARDS. Lot of 21 different well-done home-made (and, hence, unique) postcards with art depicting Ford automobiles of many years. Art is of high quality; though not attributed, the probable sources for all are Ford Times travel magazines of the 1950's & 1960's. Would be special if displayed together. Examples above: "Wonderfull Old Times" (top left), Cafe De La Paix (top right), signed Glen MacNutt (lower left) & "Service Station in Mexico" (bottom right). Our unique home-made postcards are from a collector who wanted to obtain specimens of all US town cancels on postcards bearing contemporaneous stamps. When he ran out of postcards (he required several thousands), he made many and became quite good at it. He cut up travel magazines mostly--so the photography or art is of a high standard, but not always attributed. He copied the captions by hand, sometimes making a spelling error. His cards are surprisingly well made. There are no bumps that you might expect from sloppy pasting, and the edges simply do not peel back. We have sold most for $2.00 each (a few more, a few less) and have never had a dissatisfied customer. In fact some, on viewing the items for their locality, bought us out of their entire state! All 21 unique postcards for $20.00 a

EDISON BY HENRY FORD / -- 1914 --" sepia-tone real photo postcard mailed 1931 at Fort Myers, slight oxidation consistent with the older age, minor corner wear, light spotty album toning on back.

The phrase about retarding the spark appeared in 1918 - 1927 advertising. The slogan about getting genuine parts appeared in 1919 - 1935. Thus we can date the piece to 1919 - 1927. The Vaniman dealership was on East Main. It opened in 1910 when the town population was about 348, and prospered for decades. Seldom seen or offered. $10.00 o(t)g(v)a

When we searched the Internet we found only 3 mentions of any type for this dealership, and ours is 2 years earlier than those found. The other 1936 Chevrolet ad postcards we found were decidedly different.

Real photo postcard with exemplary focus & contrast, excellent condition. Because the vehicle was a Rolls-Royce rival at the time, and because the Knozer firm photographed Austro-Hungarian royalty such as Zita, we suspect that the passengers are lower nobility (their attendants are not uniformed & the vehicle is not chauffeured, so it is not higher) & that this Photokarte was not mass-produced. The violet handstamp would simply tell the aristocratic family where they could get extra copies; Ruf means call & the phone number is sufficiently complex that the timeframe is the early 1920's. $45.00 aa
