Antique Vintage 1880 St Louis, Vandalia & Terre Haute W.H. Bowers Locomotive 166 Train Railroad Mounted Cabinet Card Photograph 1800s RARE
Photo measures 4.5" X 7.5"
Mount measures 5.25" X 8.5"You can tell the black ink at the bottom with the 1880 date is the older ink because the ink is thicker and thinner at different parts and blotchy at parts. Whereas the blue ink is a consistent width throughout. So I believe the black ink is the original date of the photo and that the blue ink was added at a later date possible later 1800s or early 1900s as notes about the engine.And I believe the last name Bauers on the front may be spelled wrong because their is also a name Birtsy Bowers on the back and when you search google for W.H. Bowers their is a lot more persons found under that name in the late 1800s then W.H. Bauers.Their is a street address on the back appears to be 3604 Wab Ave??
