    So I got these at an estate auction. Had a lot of competition so they didn't come cheaply but I think they are really great. First 4 cards are of Greenfield Ohio and the last is of Hillsboro Ohio. Got a few more but am having difficulties getting good clear photos.

    Those are fantastic.
    I especially like the last one with the parade float stacked up with chairs.

    Figtree3 What would you do if you weren't afraid?

    Very nice -- and a bonus that the locations are identified!

    Nice lot, Joe.

    Depending on the date of the second last, Coca Cola may have still been using fresh Coca leaves in their mix. Ah, good times!

    . Those are some great photos. That is probably what the town I lived near looked like on any given day at the turn of the century. It's hard to believe my grandfather delivered mail in a horse and buggy, then by an Indian Motorcycle followed by a model T and model A. He died 6 months before man landed on the moon. That is just two generations between horse and buggy and today.

    I can't even pick a favorite they are all so good! I'd say it was worth the fight to win them!

    Thank you Joe.

    Ooooo - wait - you have a few more??

    I was just looking at the first one again. Did you notice the horse's head is raised high like he's looking at or listening to something? Is the train coming? I can't tell.

    I'll have to go through my RPPCs and see if I have even one that's as interesting as any of these. Most of mine are of people ...not as much to look at usually.

    Going to try to get some improved photos tonight of another real photo postcard from the same auction. It has a great story behind it.
