PRETTY YOUNG WOMAN : ANTIQUE CHAIR : SNEAKERS : RPPC

This vintage real photo postcard features a pretty young woman sitting on an antique chair. Her shoes look like sneakers. This is possible because the first sneaker (running shoe) was invented in 1895. The young woman has bands around the cuffs of her sleeves which I imagine are meant to shorten the length of the sleeves. The woman appears to be in her teenage years. This divided back card dates back to around 1910. The postcard is in very good condition (see scans).

This wonderful vintage photograph features a Womens Basketball team which apparently just completed a championship season. The image includes seven girls in uniform and their coach. Three of the girls are holding trophies. All of the girls look like their having a good time. There is an abundance of smiles as the photographer shoots his picture. Even the coach seems to be enjoying the moment. As customary, the basketball has been marked with the date. The girls are celebrating completion of the 1923 season. Their team’s name and their location are unidentified. This image is an important piece of womens basketball history. Note the girls uniforms and their sneakers. There appears to be some variety in their footwear. The reverse of the photograph has an inscription that must summarize the girl’s experiences as a member of the basketball squad. The writing happily declares “Ye Old Team….Best Ever”. This vintage photograph measures about 8″x10″.
