1909? vintage INTERIOR PHOTO of BANK - First State Bank - City and state?

This is a large original photograph of the interior of a bank from the early 1900s. The calendar on the wall, above the wall-mounted writing table, identifies the bank as the First State Bank. A large safe door can be seen open in the adjoining room.

Unfortunately, I don\'t know what city the First State Bank was located in. The calendar also doesn\'t tell us the year but because it says the date was Tuesday June 29, I can narrow down the year to one of the following (they all had June 29 falling on a Tuesday): 1875, 1880, 1886, 1897, 1909, 1915, 1920 and 1926. Judging from the style of the bank\'s interior and the photographic mount, my first guess would be that the photographic was taken in 1909 but it could also have been 1897.

The sharp and clear vintage photograph measures 6\" x 8\" and is mounted on a 7½\" x 9½\" mat. It is in excellent condition with great contrast and tones but there are a few spots on the surface and some silver mirroring in the shadow areas (see photos). The back of the mount is blank.

SHIPPING:Domestic shipping is via USPS First Class Package Service or USPS Priority Mail and will be calculated by \'s shipping calculator to your particular city.

The shipping fee also includes postal insurance plus the additional fees imposed by and PayPal on the shipping charges, which amounts to an additional 15% on top of the fees charged by the post office. Shipping discounts are available for multiple purchases shipped to the same address in the same box.

International buyers please note: The shipping charges you pay when purchasing this item do not include import duties, taxes, broker\'s fees, or other charges that may be imposed by government officials or Customs brokers in your country. Please check your country\'s import regulations if you want to be informed about any additional charges that may be imposed on your package when it arrives.

PAYPAL PAYMENT REQUIREMENTS: Visa and MasterCard are accepted through PayPal for domestic purchases. For international purchases, because of PayPal and \'s very strict rules regarding proof-of-shipment for sellers, if you want to pay for the item using PayPal, and the item sells for less than $750.00, I can only accept a PayPal payment if you are willing to pay for USPS Priority Mail Express International or Priority Mail International shipping. They are the only on-line-trackable shipping methods offered by our US Postal System to international destinations, and an on-line-trackable shipping method is a PayPal and requirement. If the item sells for more than $750.00, then Priority Mail Express International is the ONLY shipping option available because it is the only service that requires a signature upon delivery. PayPal and both require signature confirmation on packages worth more than $750.00.

Additionally (for both domestic and international purchasers), if you pay for the item using PayPal, there are two Priority Mail services I cannot offer, their Flat-Rate Envelope and Small Flat-Rate Box. Neither of these two services are trackable (or insurable), and they are therefore against PayPal and \'s rules.

PAYMENT OPTIONS: has made changes to their payment rules whereby (in \'s own words) \"Beginning in late October [2008], sellers will no longer be allowed to offer [any traditional person-to-person paper] payment methods on . Only approved electronic methods will be allowed.\" As a seller, now prohibits me from even using the words that describe what those traditional paper-transaction payment methods are. strongly encourages all buyers to pay for their items by using PayPal (previously an -owned company). I accept PayPal, and encourage you to use it, but I will not force you to use it. \'s rules also state \"A seller can accept [paper payments] from a buyer if (and only if) the buyer requests it. We will not take action against a seller who is trying to accommodate their buyer, complete a sale and be in compliance with the policy. Sellers cannot in any way solicit [paper payments] from a buyer.\" So, let me be clear, I am not, in any way, soliciting you to use any payment method other than PayPal, I am simply informing you (the buyer) of all of \'s rules, which state that if you (the buyer) request a different payment option other than PayPal, I can accept it.
