Right on top of finding that JD McCarthy Pierce postcard I refined my Pierce searches and was able to uncover this on eBay. The listing showed only the front and while the seller called it a 'postcard' I had some doubts. I have seen that photo before and I didn't want to be buying just a 3x5 photo. But a message to the seller produced the info I had hoped for and a shot of the back which you can see here.
I jumped on the B-I-N and am pretty happy to have gone from zero Pierce postcards to two in less than a week. There isn't much of anything on the back of this other than the usual stamp box and such. It looks pretty generic. I suppose there is the possibility of it having been manufactured after Pierce's career. But I've looked at lots and lots of postcards in my time and while I am far from being a qualified 'expert' in things like this, I find the overall look and feel of the card to be vintage.
Either way it's a nice addition to the Pierce binder.
I am really learning to hate you when I see your posts pop up in the blogroll. :)
ReplyDeleteThat's a sweet image. I would think if it was produced after, it wasn't very long. What you don't see on the back is copyright or manufacturer information printed. Pretty standard on anything produced.
Very nice find
