"Disc Harrow with Sterling Force Feed" Measures 3-5/8" wide by 3-3/8" high, circa 1890. Very good condition, though card was folded at some point in the distant past (barely visible from front, see photos). No tears or fading, colors are bright, corners are sharp and square. The back of the card demonstrates one of the first uses of a novel technique -- it contains a series of advertisements, rotated 90 degrees which, when finally cut, gave each card a different companion ad.

"H. Thompson's Grand Soap" Measures 3" wide by 4-1/2" high, circa 1880-1890. There are no tears, corners are sharp and square, colors appear to have faded but closer examination shows that original pastels were used, which exaggerates the appearance of fading.

"Fire Alarm Codes" Measures 2-1/2" wide by 3-7/8" high, circa 1895. Wonderful condition. There are no tears or creases, no fading except for minor area on back. Portrait colors are well preserved.
