MA, Chelsea - Everett Ave from Chestnut after Big Fire 4-12-1908 postcard - QC00

$20.00

Massachussets postcard 

  • mailed 1908 from Boston with a clear flag killer strike from Chelsea Station, on May 9 - about 27 days AFTER the fire 
  • Note states:  ALL THIS HAPPENED IN ABOUT 3 OR 4 HOURS ON THE AFTERNOON OF APR 12TH CAUSING A LOSS OF ABOUT 10 MILLION DOLLARS (my note - value in 2024 is about  $317,955,670.10)
  • there is a cigar sticking out of the mouth of the man on the right
  • quite the disaster especially for the time
  • is creasing to the card
  • Please note that the majority of the cards are over 50 years old and as such, are sold AS IS. Tears will be noted but it would be too timely to note each fault on every card.  If condition is important to you - contact us with our number in the title & what it is that you would like to know or what it is that you would like pictured more closely.
  • Again, because of the age of the cards - they are noted as being USED - no matter if they are written on or not.
