Description: Featured is a wonderful 1939 Real Photo Postcard * (image is 1939, may be reprint from negative) with a lot going on: there is a parade ... there is an oh-so-cool transitional steam pumper fire truck being "driven" by/with what appears to be a jeep (may even be a Model T) front end (the configuration of the whole contraption is truly a sight to see ... but that's how they adapted the old engines and made them drivable). In the background there is a sign for the Knickerbocker Cafe ... a storied nightclub that opened in 1933 (shortly after the end of Prohibition) ... the "Cafe", which has been reincarnated and is open, was in Westerly, Rhode Island ... but then there is the "Plymouth"movie marquee next door - so, Plymouth, MA (?) Hoping you know and can tell me. (You always come through!). Either way, a very neat image and RPPCs of these "transitional" trucks are sought after. PC has been priced according to documented sales using that frame of reference. Domestic shipping by USPS Ground Advantage to include tracking and insurance. Rigid mailer. Check out our other offerings as we get them listed. Happy to combine shipping. We do have tens of thousands of postcards from the Curt Teich Archives and will be listing them as well as tens of thousands of others ... all types and locales. Many are categorized. If you're looking for a certain topic, let us know. Selling on eBay as early as 1997. "The Mermaid" is also still a bonded auctioneer and real estate broker who spent the past "many" decades' specializing in books, ephemera, estates, and real estate. Just shy of two million books sold to date. Books and paper aside, if it is "Stuff", she has sold it! She has now returned to eBay. Health issues have brought us back. We are even selling our own collections! And ... we are picky. If we wouldn't add it to our own collections, we won't sell it. Hope you find something that you want, need, and, most important of all, will enjoy! We look forward to transacting with you and making new eBay friends and customers. Thanking you for your patronage in advance ... ! As to our "standard operating procedures": Our normal shipping & handling time is three (3) days. We ship weekdays with the exception of US federal holidays. We will ship with either free shipping or calculated shipping ... it depends on the given scenario. Often, calculated shipping will include insurance - again, depending on the item. Payment is expected at time of purchase or close of auction, whichever is applicable. This also applies to "best offer accepted" transactions. Non-paying purchasers or bidders will be blocked from future transactions. The same goes for winning bidders seeking to have sales cancelled. That said, prior to the end of any auctions, bids can be cancelled through the HELP section of eBay. If respective bidders are found to be cancelling bids in an excessive manner, however, they will be blocked from future transactions. Shill bidding is not tolerated and will be reported. "The Mermaid" is happy to ship globally.** (See below.) For such transactions, "calculated" shipping fees apply. Insurance will be required if not already included in applicable postal fee. **Unfortunately, there are a few destinations to which we cannot and will not ship. That circumstance involves a fluid dynamic the specifics of which may not be clear until point of sale. If such is the case, we will allow the transaction to be cancelled at our discretion and without any negative reporting made to eBay. WE ARE GLAD TO BE BACK!
