I wish I knew the city location for this old photo. The only writing is on the back and it says "Mr. Sawyer". There is no other identifying marks or information on it. I purchased it at an estate sale, so no way to ask about it.
All there is to go by is that the store is named "Pacific Auto Tire and Tube Co" (the word 'Pacific" leads me to believe it is at least on the west coast). Next to the tire store is "B.B. Market, Grocery and Delicatessen". Way off to the right and behind the man standing by the car, in the distance a cable car type of vehicle can be seen, so this is probably San Francisco, Los Angeles, San Diego, or some other large city. In the very lower right corner in small letters it says "A92".
The actual photo measures 9-3/8ths by 7-3/4 inches. It is applied to a mat. The mat measures 12-3/4 by 10-3/4 inches.
Because of the automobiles, I'm guessing that it dates to the very early 1900s. In my opinion, it's in remarkable condition for its age. I see one very small dent just above the last car on the right side and up by the wires. I don't know that you can see it in my photo though.
It would be a great conversation piece to hang in a tire store, or for someone who just loves old automobiles.
It will be mailed by USPS First Class mail from Arizona. Cardboard protection will be used and the envelope will be labeled "Do Not Bend". Buyer to pay $6.45 delivery charges.
SPECIAL NOTE about SHIPPING CHARGES: Twice yearly and again in November for the holiday season (so 3 times each year) the postal service increases shipping charges. Previously, shipping charges were based on weight and zip code. Now, the postal service has divided the United States in to 8 zones and all packages are charged by weight, size, and destination zone. This year's increases have added an additional 1.36 cents to up to $4.03 on packages. I try to absorb some of the new charges and haven't increased my shipping charges in three years. This year, unfortunately, I have to increase the shipping. I'll try to keep it reasonable and even absorb some of the changes when possible.
INTERNATIONAL SHIPPING depends on the country. Buyer must contact seller for shipping quote before making purchase. Seller reserves the right to void any transactions where contact has not been made prior to purchasing.
To avoid excess shipping charges, please contact seller for combined shipping charges if multiple purchases are desired.
All items in my listings come from estate sales, garage sales, or auctions. I do not know if they came from homes where smoking or pets were present. All items are sold in the same condition as when I received them.
