Maybe somebody here can identify a series of postcards I found that I have
today.
I have been doing a major reorg of my study, here, and finally sorted the
stack of postcards that's just been piling up for the last ten years, since
we moved to this house. I found that I have nine postcards, which are part
of a series, evidently, since they are numbered on the back. The number's
applied with a hand stamp on the back. The back is divided, and the block
where the stamp goes is bordered with the letters "A Z O" across the top and
bottom of the block and down each side. These have the feel of something
from the 60's or maybe 70's.
The ones I have are
289 An ERIE 2-10-2, in an industrial setting, gantry crane and enormous
smokestack in the background
290 An ERIE K1 (maybe) on a commuter train. Collins Curve?
315 ERIE B5 Cannot distinguish number, probably Jersey City
362 ERIE K5 2929 . . . Jersey City?
375 ERIE H21?? very muddy print, maybe JC?
394 ERIE Russian J2 2472
412 ERIE B5 112 in Jersey City, rear 3/4 view definitely JC.
423 ERIE H21 1678 again, maybe (very much maybe) JC
430 ERIE K4 2737 God knows where, but a large flat yard.
Does somebody know where these came from, who printed them, and (best of
all) whose negatives these are? Because of my current project, I
>>>>>really<<<<< want a better print of No 412 as listed above . . .
Rear 3/4 views are virtually next to non-existent.
