This is a rare and visually striking 1939 real photo-style advertising postcard showcasing the new diesel-electric ferry “Christopher” operating on State Route 34, connecting Red House and Winfield, West Virginia.

• Front:
  Black-and-white image of the ferry “Christopher” on the water, with bold promotional text touting:

  “Eight-Car Capacity — 96 Cars Per Hour”
  “Something New, Delightfully Different, Reliable, Fast”

  The text highlights both the innovation of the ferry and the long-standing public service it replaced, with a nod to “79 Years Public Service.”

• Back:
  Standard divided back with space for a message and stamp, unused and clean with light aging around edges.

• Date: 1939

• Location: Red House & Winfield, West Virginia

• Condition: Very Good – light edge wear and slight corner softening. No creases or major blemishes. Crisp printing.

Perfect for collectors of:

• West Virginia history
