RARE PROMOTIONAL SAN FRANCISCO’S GREAT DISASTER POSTCARD 1906 - $5K APR W/COA
ITEM DESCRIPTION:
Presenting a truly remarkable piece of ephemera—a government-issued postcard from 1906, bearing the stamp of President McKinley. This incredibly rare artifact offers a fascinating glimpse into the past, showcasing a unique intersection of history, advertising, and presidential memorabilia.
The postcard serves as a promotional tool for a book titled "San Francisco's Great Disaster," which chronicles the city's devastating earthquake and subsequent fire of 1906. Interestingly, the postcard also reveals an early form of multi-level marketing (MLM), as it attempts to recruit individuals for the sales of these books with promises of profit—a practice reminiscent of early forms of direct marketing and advertising.
Intriguingly, the stamp bearing President McKinley's likeness adds a layer of historical significance to the postcard, connecting it to a pivotal moment in American history. McKinley, who served as the 25th President of the United States until his tragic assassination in 1901, remains a revered figure in presidential lore, making his stamp a coveted addition to any collection.
Beyond its historical and collectible value, this postcard serves as a captivating relic of early advertising and marketing practices—a testament to the ingenuity and entrepreneurial spirit of the past. Its rarity and unique blend of elements make it a standout piece for collectors of historical memorabilia, presidential artifacts, and advertising ephemera alike.
As a window into the past and a reminder of the ever-evolving landscape of commerce and communication, this government-issued postcard from 1906 stands as a cherished treasure—a tangible link to a bygone era and a testament to the enduring allure of collecting.
