1880's SF Sanderson or Stephen F Sanderson Druggist Card, Rochester NH

#772 SF Sanderson Advertising Trade Card:

A beautiful old original vintage 1880's American advertising trade card for a Rochester, New Hampshire druggist named SF Sanderson, or Stephen F. Sanderson. Printed Text on card front reads: "A Neat Holiday Present, Sanderson's Cologne, 10¢ per bottle. S.F. Sanderson, Druggist, Rochester, N.H. Try Sanderson's Tasteless Castor Oil." This is in Strafford County, NH. On reverse: beautiful calligraphy handwritten signed 1880's name of the owner of the card, "Maria E. Burke, Worcester." At one time the back appears to have been glued into a scrapbook on 4 corners, which was all the Victorian rage. It does not affect image on front in any way.

        Note: Hello from ~debra. I have spent years collecting over 10,000 ID’d lost family photos & paper from US flea markets & antique shops. I do the best gen research I can, but am always open to corrections. This is an original antique item, not a reprint. A new high quality rigid sleeve is included for extra protection, especially during shipping. You may buy a piece alone, or large intimate 300 dpi scans of the front and back sent immediately via email, or both. Please search carefully, as they are often found together and many may be related. I also invite you to join me at Ancestorville Genealogy on facebook.
