Lot 149: Alaskan Ballpark Under Water Real Photo Postcards (2)
ITEM DESCRIPTION
|
||||||||||||
Amazing pair of early 1900's postcards right from the Examiner Archive. They are perfectly identical shots of the “Ball Ground at Ketchikan Alaska”. The first shows a game in progress at "Low Tide". The second is “High Tide” and shows the grounds completely under water. Absolutely amazing, one of a kind images. Backs are unposted and signed and notated (tiny print) by the photographer C.R. Fickle. Strong EX+. Only specimens we have seen. Ketchikan is the first city in Alaska and the salmon capitol of the world. From our research the game is circa 1904.
