Here\'s a nice photo of an *early* AC Bulldog Mack truck — they had that screening for engine ventilation only on trucks made in 1916 and early 1917 — owned by the Hygienic Ice Company (location unknown).
At bottom right of the photo is an alphanumeric code; this was marked on the negative, not actually on the print.
If you haven\'t read the Condition Description above, please do.Any photograph that is 100 years old (or thereabouts) is likely to have—at the very least—some light wear and imperfections; I do my best to describe any noteworthy condition issues but, being human, I don\'t doubt that I overlook the occasional flaw. As always, the best testament to condition is careful scrutiny of the images I supply.
If you buy/win more than one lot of Mack photos, please either request an invoice so I can combine shipping or, if you prefer, go ahead and pay and I will promptly refund the amount you overpaid for shipping costs. I only charge the amount I pay to the USPS; no markup.
Please read on below.
Last summer I came into a very large accumulation of old 8x10 photos thatpurportedly once belonged to the Mack Truck corporate archives. Indeed, some —but not most — of these photos are rubber-stamped on the back as being from theMack Advertising Department.
Mostphotos have an alphanumeric code written onto the negative. Many photos alsohave the date written below the code. My hunch is that these prints weregenerally printed around the time the photograph was taken, but it\'s possibletoo that the dates written on the negative might be the date they were added tothe archive. I say this because sometimes a photo will have elements that makeme think it might have been taken 10 or so years earlier than the date given.
Sometimesthe photos are of Macks out in the field that have clearly been in service forsome time. Sometimes, when the Mack looks shiny and new, it’s likely that thevarious trucks, buses, and fire apparatus were professionallyphotographedbefore final delivery was made to the customereither (1) ator near the factory or (2) at or near the Mack dealer/agent the customerpurchased the truck from.
In this way, we oftenget to see these fresh-from-the-factory-floor trucks and buses in all theirvaried liveries, whether it be that of the Rye, New York Fire Department; theStandard Oil Company of Pennsylvania; or the Peninsula Transit Corporation of NewportNews, Virginia (for instance).
Iwill ship all photos flat in a stiffened mailer that is marked DO NOT BEND.
Please examine images for detail, as they are part of the description.Customer satisfaction is very important to me; please review my response and you\'ll see that I take it very seriously.
Will combine shipping for multiple purchases.
Thanks for looking!
