Our daughter, CJ, found this card at the January Los Angeles Post Card Show. We both agreed it was a fun card, so I wasted $7.50. It is a wonderful comic card put out by the B&O Railroad Company to encourage driver safety at railroad crossings.

This wonderful lithographed adverting card appeared at a 2017 post card show. It is in excellent condition. The author was unable to resist the $4.00 expenditure to acquire it, despite its having nothing at all to do with steam cars, watches, clocks, or typewriters. Some things just have to be saved!

No, this is not a steam car, but it is fun! It does remind me of some steam car drivers.

No, this penny postcard has nothing to do with steam cars, but it is from the 1920s and presumably an old steam car might have needed some body work.
