Offered here is an original real photo postcard showing a sharp early street view of downtown Pleasanton, Kansas, dating to the 1920s or late teens. The scene includes the Commercial House hotel, the Hoag Mercantile Company storefront, and the Travis & Beatty Insurance and Real Estate office, along with a row of period commercial buildings featuring transom windows and early streetlamps.
A touring car with two men and a dog adds clear period detail and helps support a late-1910s to early-1920s date. The postcard is printed on AZO stock with four upward triangles, a paper type used through the 1910s and into the early 1920s by local photographers.
Small-town Kansas RPPCs are scarce, and views showing multiple identified businesses are especially desirable. A clear, well-composed Pleasanton street scene with strong historical interest.
Condition:
Good condition with light corner wear, minor toning, and slight surface handling. AZO stamp box visible on the reverse. Image detail and lettering remain clear.
