Original real photo postcard (RPPC) showing a Lesh Oil Company delivery truck parked along a small-town main street, identified in pencil on reverse as “Lesh Oil Company, Kinsley, Kansas.” The sepia photograph captures a beautifully detailed early 20th-century oil and gasoline delivery vehicle, likely from the 1910s or early 1920s, with a large cylindrical tank marked “Oils and Greases.”The truck—featuring wooden-spoked wheels, an open cab, and period signage—is parked in front of a row of brick storefronts including visible signage for a Bakery, Café, Harness Store, and Plumbing Shop, offering a wonderful slice of early small-town commercial life.The Lesh Oil Company served the Kinsley region during the early days of the automotive and agricultural fuel trade, supplying oil and grease products essential for farm equipment, cars, and machinery. Kinsley, located in Edwards County, Kansas, was a classic prairie town whose growth was fueled by both the railroad and the rise of the automobile industry.The AZO stamp box with four triangles pointing up on the back dates the postcard to approximately 1918–1930, confirming its authentic early 20th-century origin.Details:Real Photo Postcard (RPPC)Subject: Lesh Oil Company delivery truck, Kinsley, KansasEra: c. 1918–1930Back: Divided back with AZO four triangles upCondition: Light surface wear and minor toning typical for age; strong contrast and sharp detailUnused postcardAn outstanding vintage automotive and small-town business scene, this postcard is ideal for collectors of Kansas history, early transportation, petroleum industry memorabilia, or Main Street Americana.
