Interesting Details: There are two passers-by looking at the Treasury Department’s Liberty Bell replica recently installed in front of the building. These bells were sent by the Treasury Department in 1950 to state and territorial capitals as part of a Savings Bond promotion. There is what looks to be a 1950 Ford 2-door sedan parked at the curb as well as a couple of other earlier vehicles. The Howard C. Robison Studio in Anchorage was active in the 1940s and 1950s and published real photo postcards of Alaska and The Yukon Territories. Identifiers: On the front (written on the negative): “R-850 Federal Capital Building – Juneau, Alaska”, (title), “© Robinson“ (studio.)

On the front: under magnification, there’s crazing of the glossy finish. The edges have a very small rough area, minor discoloration, and minor wear. On the back: a couple of small edge stains. Please study the scans.Note: The scanner has greatly accentuated the discoloration on the front edges of the card. In hand, it's not distracting and is more the result of a surface disturbance than a stain. Thanks for considering this item. The Fine Print: Descriptions: I try to provide accurate (and AI free) descriptions but I’m not an expert -- my assessments can be off and internet sources may not be accurate. I try to list defects that are hard to see, but I might miss something, so do zoom in on the scans. Scans/Photos: These are the most important part of the description. You need to examine them closely. If you see something you don’t like, there’s a good chance it’s still going to be there when you open the package. Still, it might be just a scanning artifact or lighting. The scanner can accentuate color differences making toning and soiling appear significantly more pronounced than they do when the card is in hand. If you have a doubt about what you’re seeing, please ask me about it before buying (or not buying.) Definitions: “Antique” means at least 100 years old, while “Vintage” means at least 50 years old. Often, this is just my estimate and should not be taken as an expert assessment. Stamps and Postal Markings are described generically to avoid outraged returns. Assume what’s being offered is the most common variety. I usually include a close-up scan to help you decide, but you’ll have to assign catalog numbers yourself. Best Offer: Offers are welcome, but please make it your best offer. I’ll assume it is. Free shipping isn’t negotiable because eBay charges you the listed amount anyway. Delivery Time: The time given near the top of this listing is an eBay estimate – not mine and it is not guaranteed. The USPS does not guarantee delivery times for the First Class, Ground Advantage, and Priority Mail shipments that I use because delays on their part are always a possibility. There’s rarely an issue with this but be aware. State Sales Taxes: eBay will collect and remit sales tax on your purchase in accordance with your applicable state law. My being in tax free New Hampshire won’t save you. Shipping & Handling Options: USPS Ground Advantage has tracking. First Class does not include tracking but does include the surcharge for non-machinable handling. Orders are sent in either photo mailers or larger padded envelopes. The delivery times for both options are about the same. For Multiple Orders: I try to consolidate shipping, so please use the shopping cart and request an invoice prior to paying. If not, you’ll have to pay the individual shipping and handling charges up front before I can calculate and refund any excess. Returns: Free domestic returns within 30 days. Feedback: I always leave feedback. Yours is appreciated. Questions: I’m happy to answer questions. It’s easier and cheaper to ask than to pack something up and return it.
