Item Tag: Bear

Retired from antique business where we participated in three high end shows per year in Sun Valley Idaho and Jackson Hole Wyoming. Selling remaining inventory here for investment costs or less. Worth checking back at my auctions though be patient; just listing 2 – 3 items per day. THIS OFFERING: One of the most sought after Real Photo Postcard images of Yellowstone: three bears standing around a mid-century convertible. The travelers are standing in the car feet from the animals. RPPCs are historical and can be quite collectible. They usually began with a lucky photographer’s image (professional or not) and are then taken to be developed into a limited set of cards to be sent to friends. At times they were purchased by professional entities, but even then production was limited. Card is framed in a manner that makes it seem to “float.” The new shadow box is lined with art mat – as is the backdrop behind the image. Frame is weighted internally to make it stable free-standing on a shelf. (You could add a back wire if you prefer to hang the piece.) CONDITION: “Used” as in antique; NOT abused. Real photo postcard (considered a rare and sought after image) in excellent condition and vibrant color. Teeny teeny teeny white tip on card corners otherwise card seems near pristine. Mounted in between glass (to appear as floating) in shadow box with quality art mat behind and at sides. Moulding is new blond wood shadow bo. I see one very light 1/4″ scratch, otherwise excellent; (not large enough to be a distraction, I think). Weighted to allow it to sit on shelf or hold up small grouping of books. Will be sent in a USPS Priority Flat-Rate Box, keeping price down and the same for everyone no matter your location. Leia mais… »
