This vintage photochrome postcard features the historic Chollar Mine located on South F Street in Virginia City, Nevada. The front of the card showcases two vivid color images: the mine entrance marked 'Chollar Mine 1861' nestled in a rugged hillside, and an interior view of the mine's timbered underground workings. The postcard, a licensed reprint produced by Kolor View Press in the 1960s, captures the rich mining history of the Comstock Lode era, once ranked third in silver and gold production. The back of the postcard includes a detailed description of the mine's significance, noting its extensive underground tunnels and the original square set timbering invented by Philip Deidesheimer. The card is postmarked 1977 from Jackson, California, with a 9-cent US postage stamp. Handwritten notes describe a camping trip and visits to local museums and rock shops, adding a personal historical touch. This collectible postcard offers a fascinating glimpse into Nevada's mining heritage and is ideal for collectors of vintage Western Americana or mining history memorabilia.
