Hello scientists, engineers, etc. I have not had any questions for you recently, so have not participated here. I was scanning some material and ran across these 2 ads. I had posted them at another forum, and I thought you may be interested in them as well. History is fascinating stuff!

Hello scientists, etc. Here is an old-time smithy. I thought it may be of interest to you. Looks like he specialized in horseshoes. These types of images (RPPC) are hard to find. Yes, lots of blacksmith cards, but not with piles of horseshoes...unless you want to pay a lot for them.
