Description: AUTHENTIC, RARE Antique Divided Back HAND TINTED Postcard PC Copyrighted 1909. Card is unposted with a message written in pencil on the back. Depicts the STATE FAIR at HURON, SOUTH DAKOTA SD. Shows a ZEPPELIN or DIRIGIBLE OVERHEAD. People are milling about in the EDWARDIAN DRESS of the day. The Agricultural Building is in the background. A HORSE and CARRIAGE as well as a HORSE and BUGGY can also be seen. THIS IS A VERY HIGH DETAIL and HIGH ACTION postcard!! VERY INTERESTING!! In good condition according to the Postcard Rating System with some corner/edge wear to be expected in a card that is well over 100 years old. It’s certainly not what I would call moderate wear. The left side of the card seems to have a bit more pronounced wear to the corners and edge. These flaws do not detract from the outstanding appearance of this card, however. Also, please note that ROPES are descending from the zeppelin. These appear as thin white lines and are NOT scratches. There is a very slight amount of surface dirt to the card which is barely visible. Otherwise, I see no evidence of rips, tears, creases, bends, or pinholes. But, please see photos and you be the judge. Standard size 5.5” x 3.5”. IMPORTANT POSTCARD SHIPPING INFORMATION: I have switched over to the eBay Standard Envelope system. This allows for inexpensive shipping and also provides a tracking number. It applies to postcards, trading cards, coins and stamps and works for items up to 3 ounces in weight. The shipping cost is as follows: .69 cents per 1 oz, .97 cents per 2 oz, and $1.25 per 3 oz. For multiple item purchases. PLEASE CONTACT ME BEFORE PAYING as I will have to weigh your items and send you an INVOICE. Any card over $20 in price does not qualify for this program. If you have more than 3 cards or your card is over $20, you must ship via USPS Ground Advantage, the cost of which would be determined by eBay based upon the package dimensions and your zip code. Thank you for your understanding in this matter. Please ask questions before buying and let the photos guide you as well. I was a long time seller on eBay some 15-20 years ago with 100% positive feedback which I maintain to this day. Buy with confidence! And, thank you for looking!!
