Steam Road Roller and Crew – Manchester, New York, 1911This early real photo postcard (RPPC) captures a striking roadside scene in Manchester, Ontario County, New York. Two men—one in overalls and the other in a suit—stand proudly beside a large steam-powered road roller on a dirt street lined with trees and telephone poles. Postmarked 1911 and sent to Geneva, New York, the card includes a handwritten message to “Aunt Em” referencing the roadwork and postcard’s subject. A wonderful example of early 20th-century infrastructure and machinery.Type: Real Photo Postcard (RPPC)Subject: Steam road roller, road crew, early construction equipmentLocation: Manchester, New York (Ontario County)Postmark: 1911, mailed to Geneva, New YorkPublisher: UnmarkedCondition: Mailed with some light staining and smudging on the image; corner and edge wear consistent with ageEra: 1910sAn excellent addition for collectors of industrial history, vintage construction equipment, or small-town Americana!
