Original early 1900s real photo postcard (RPPC) showing two men posing proudly beside a Newcomb’s Newton & Boston Express wagon. The sturdy open-bed delivery wagon, equipped with chain rigging and solid wooden wheels, represents the kind of horse-drawn express transport commonly used before motorized trucks became widespread. The company name, “Newcomb’s Newton & Boston Express,” is visible on the wagon’s side panel, suggesting this photo was taken in the Newton, Massachusetts area, where such local express services connected suburban customers to Boston’s larger commercial markets.The men—likely the owner and driver—stand confidently in front of a clapboard house, dressed in work clothes typical of early 20th-century tradesmen. Their expressions and stance capture the pride of small business operators during an era when express delivery services were vital to New England’s rapidly growing towns and cities.This postcard is printed on a Cyko photographic paper stock, which was widely used between 1904 and 1920, helping date the image to that period. The back is divided and unused, with “Post Card” and ornate Cyko stamp box design.A wonderful slice of Massachusetts transportation and labor history—perfect for collectors of early vehicles, wagons, New England express companies, or occupational portraits.Details:Type: Real Photo Postcard (RPPC)Era: c.1904–1920Subject: Wagon / Delivery Express / Occupational PortraitCaption (pencil note): Newcomb’s Newton & Boston Express, MassCondition: Light corner wear, very good overall for age, clear image with strong contrastPublisher/Mark: CYKO stamp box (divided back)Location: Likely Newton or Boston, Massachusetts
