Subject: An excellent antique postcard featuring the horse-drawn apparatus of the Young America Hose Co., No. 6, in Poughkeepsie, New York. The image shows the two-horse team, driver, and the hose wagon in fine detail. Publisher: Published by Hausman, Beatty & Pralow, Poughkeepsie. Era: Circa 1905. The reverse has an undivided back and a "Place a One Cent Stamp Here" box, typical of US postcards from this period (pre-1907). Printing Method: High-quality printed photograph (phototype or collotype). Condition Notes: Unused. Very good to excellent condition for its age. The corners are sharp with only minimal bumping. The image is clear and crisp with strong contrast. The reverse is very clean with only light age toning. A superb example for a collection. Please see photos for details.
