1909 West River, Nova Scotia Logging Team Real Photo Postcard

Great image of a logging team from West River, Nova Scotia. This type of Velox real photo postcard dates from 1909-1914. Luckily the date is pinpointed by a previous owner who wrote the actual date on the cards reverse. Front of the card shows some nice examples of period work shirts. 

 

Circa 1906-1915 Cyko Real Photo Postcard with Work Crew

Here's another recent addition to my collection of real photo postcards showing work crews. Great example of clothing and hats. Looks like the third guy in from the right on the bottom is missing part of his ring finger. This card was produced by Cyko and dates from 1906 to 1915

Early 1900s Integrated Work Crew Real Photo Postcard

Great image of an integrated work crew from the early 1900s. Unfortunately this postcard was not used and does not have a stamp box to help date it. It's pretty cool to see that the white worker with the pipe has his arm around the black worker next to him. Something like this probably wasn't the norm during this time period.

Circa 1905 A.R. Churchman Workers Cabinet Photo

Cabinet photo showing two unidentified workers taken by A.R. Churchman of New Rockford, North Dakota. The photo is from circa 1905 because that is the year Churchman was working in New Rockford. 

1960s Lee Boss of the Road Dungarees Pocket Flasher 11-Z Model

1960s Lee Boss of the Road Dungarees pocket flasher for their 11-Z model. I'm pretty sure this model was the denim painter pant with a zipper. I like how the original owner attached the waistband tag and size tag.

H.W. Carter & Sons, Carter's Overalls Receipt Envelope

I recently picked up this piece from my friend and vintage dealer John Gluckow of Strongarm C & S Co. it's a H.W. Carter & Sons, Carter's Overalls, receipt envelope from Savard & McCarthy Clothiers in Kingston, New York. There's no year date on the envelope, but I'd place it from the late teens to the early 1920s. Joseph Savard and John E. McCarthy teamed up in March of 1915 to form the firm of Savard & McCarthy. At the time Savard owned eight other stores in Connecticut and New York.
