This original cabinet card photograph, measuring approximately 4¼ x 6½ inches, features a striking portrait of a young U.S. Navy sailor, captured in formal studio attire. The sailor wears a traditional dark naval jumper with a wide collar and a neatly tied neckerchief. His uniform displays the eagle and chevron insignia on his right sleeve, identifying him as a petty officer in the United States Navy, likely from the late 1880s to 1890s, based on the style of dress and photograph mount. He also wears a flat, round sailor’s cap with a trailing ribbon, typical of American naval uniforms from this period. The sailor has a composed, thoughtful expression, with a full mustache and clear eyes gazing slightly off camera, conveying quiet confidence and professionalism. The photograph was taken by Lane Studio, located at 461 Fulton Street in Brooklyn, New York, a prominent address in the borough’s thriving commercial and photographic district during the late 19th century. The word “Carbonette” on the card refers to a photographic printing process used around the 1890s, known for its rich tonal quality and lasting image stability. It was considered a premium finish for portrait photography during that era. (SOLD)
This vibrant, hand-tinted postcard captures a nostalgic waterfront scene titled, “Scene at the Old Mill, East New York, Brooklyn, New York.” A peaceful waterway stretches into the distance, flanked on both sides by wooden piers, weathered clapboard boathouses, and numerous small fishing boats and rowboats moored at the docks. Several American flags wave proudly from the buildings and masts, suggesting a patriotic atmosphere—perhaps near the Fourth of July. The canal is lively yet serene, with a few boats actively drifting in the calm water and others docked beside wooden walkways. The pastel tones of the sky, combined with the charming architectural details of the boathouses—painted in soft yellows, pinks, and blues—lend the postcard an idyllic charm, reminiscent of early 20th-century East New York before urbanization transformed the landscape. This postcard was published by the Commercial Art Post Card Co., New York, N.Y., a prolific publisher active in the early 20th century, known for scenic views and hand-colored lithographs. It is a divided back postcard with the stamp box indicating one cent for U.S. and Canada—suggesting a date range from the 1910s to early 1920s. (SOLD)

This cabinet card is a portrait of a young woman photographed by Harry, who advertised himself as the “leading photographer” of Steubenville, Ohio. The woman is wearing a ribbon around her collar as well as two pins. One pin is a horseshoe while the other appears to be some sort of clover. Perhaps these are good luck charms. Albert S. Harry (1848-1904) was born in Ohio and worked as a photographer in Wooster, Ohio through much of the 1870’s. In 1878, he settled in Steubenville and operated a studio until at least 1893. He later worked as a photographer in Brooklyn, New York. This cabinet card has corner wear and is in overall good condition (see scans).

This vintage linen postcard features the Swedish Hospital in Brooklyn, New York. The hospital was located at Bedford Avenue and Dean Street. Swedish Hospital opened in 1906 and expanded over time, but closed in 1975. Upon the closing of the facility, the New York Times (1975) published an article about how New York City would be adversely affected by the closure. The hospital was compelled to close because the state health department cited the institution for structural and safety deficiencies in their building. The cessation of services created a problem because Swedish Hospital was the only medical facility in New York City that dealt exclusively with alcoholism and alcohol related medical illnesses. The closing cut two thirds of the beds available for hospitalized alcoholics in Brooklyn. This postcard was published by Curt Teich (Chicago) as part of a series (No.9B-H501). (SOLD)
This vintage real photo postcard features a portrait of three visitors to Coney Island. Coney Island is a neighborhood and entertainment area in New York City’s borough of Brooklyn. The postmark on this card was stamped in 1908. By that time, Coney Island was well known for it’s amusement parks. In fact, between 1880 and World War II, Coney Island was the largest amusement area in the United States. The city of New York built a boardwalk to be utilized by visitors. Where there are boardwalks and amusement parks; there are photo studios. One of these studios was the “Dream Studio” and the threesome seen in this photo found their way there to create a souvenir memory. The “Dream Studio” was operated by Mr. H. Tarr. It was located on Surf Avenue at West 6th Street. The 1911 Dreamland Fire burned down Mr Tarr’s photo studio, but in a short time, it was reopened. SOLD
