Some of these you have seen before but now they are more clear & legible so you can read them. I scanned them this morning. I know some are in pretty bad shape but to me the history is priceless and I will treat these like a national treasure nomatter the condition issues. Enjoy!

The one with the lady and the kitten is an advertisement for children's medicine. for DR.D.B.HAND's different tonics and elixirs.



Quote:
:
Dr. David Bishop Hand, 520 Spruce St., Scranton, PA, practiced medicine in Scranton for many years and invented a number of proprietary medicines. In 1889 he entered into a contract with Smith and Kline Company. Dr. Hand died in 1923 leaving a widow, a son and a daughter. Dr. Hand's widow died in 1950 and his son on March 16, 1953.

"If you're interested in such detail, here's a link to a rather extensive biography and shall we say genealogical study on Dr. Hand and his ancestors, many of whom were notable citizens and some even participants in the Revolutionary War:

Research by WT1

wt1 said: "I especially like that postcard with the little dog wearing the Red Cross coat and the soldier saying "For the Love O'Pete, How Are Yah!"

wt1 said: "It would seem that the artist was relatively famous back in the day, being none other than Haydon Jones, who had quite a career as a newspaper illustrator:"


Quote:
:
Haydon Jones (1871-1954) was born in Ohio, and became a fairly well-known and definitely well-traveled illustrator who worked for a series of newspapers, including the New York Mail & Express, the San Francisco Examiner (where he covered a particularly gruesome murder trial, among other things), the New York World when it was owned by Joseph Pulitzer, and the Boston Herald. He also illustrated a number of books.

In 1898 Jones went to Cuba to cover the growing hostilities that eventually became the Spanish-American War, got taken prisoner by the Spanish and was traded back to the Americans, along with another war correspondent, for two Spanish officers.

His wife must have been a very patient and forbearing woman - he was all over the country in what seems like a fairly short time.

Very nice selection of WWI and WWII vintage postcards.

If you don't know it already, the second postcard is postmarked with what is referred to as the "Hoboken Eagle and Wavy Box Cancel" with the imprint "Military Post Office Soldiers Mail". An interesting read on that cancel is contained in the link below.

I also like the RPO postmark on postcard #6, "St. Louis, Eldon & Kansas City RPO".

You know I never noticed that WT1. I just got them in the mail yesterday morning and just got to scanning them early this morning. So I'm really seeing these for the first time as well especially blown-up on a computer screen so I'm seeing a lot of interesting things. I wish the stamps on a lot of them was still there but I like them and for all I paid for them it was quite a deal. Thank you very much.

On that card from the Buffalo Draft Board, has anyone noticed the inverted year (1918) in the CDS?

I thought it was a time stamp 8:01 but I believe you may be right! That's neat. I have a few like that myself.

Also, the named party on that Buffalo Draft Card, (Dr.) Francis H. Wing, was the Supervisor of Vocational Education in Buffalo, NY:



As to the stamped name of the Draft Board Member, Ervin A. Lapp, checkout the last paragraph of this newspaper article:

Holy crow wt1, you amaze me.

Interesting information on this man. I don't even remember where I got this card actually. Every now and then, I'll come across a collection, and if the price is right, I usually buy the whole kit and kaboodle

I am downsizing my collection and want to concentrate on only those area I want to specialize in. So, over the years, I have accumulated a number of items that would be good bargaining material <G>.

Thanks for the info.

wt1 certainly is providing a great service for folks by looking all of these names/addresses up and deserves special thanks!

If collectors are finding that they have a lot of covers/cards and are interested in this kind of information a subscription of Acestry.com would certainly pay for itself very quickly. Plus we would be giving wt1 a break by giving him back a lot of his time!

He (wt1) is most certainly a credit to philately no argument there! I been updating this thread with a combination of my own research and WT1's research to put it all in one thread. That's why this post has been getting bumped a lot. And yes, Of course I give proper credit to wt1.
