Studebaker Bros Manufacturing Co., Antique Advertising Trading Card

$25.00
Collectors of Victorian Period Advertising Pieces, take a look at this lovely trade card.

These printed pieces of advertising were used to promote models of different wheeled vehicles and carriages manufactured by The Studebaker Brothers Manufacturing Co. The beautiful painting of the carriage is signed by the artist in the lower right-hand corner, Gray Parker. The company that printed the card is stamped on the lower left, Gies & Co. Buffalo, N.Y. The card beautifully showcases a carriage known as a Studebaker Extension Top Carriage, #630. On the reverse side is a list of factories where this carriage was produced and locations where it could be purchased. Highlighting South Bend, Indiana as a location where this carriage could be purchased, but also includes New York City, Chicago, San Francisco, Kansas City, Portland Ore., St. Joseph Mo and Salt Lake City.

I find it interesting that techniques for advertising vehicles in the 1800's, remain the core principles of automotive advertising today. The subtle suggestion that a purchase of this vehicle defines its owner as a member of an "elite" class. Note the well-dressed man with gloves, waiting casually at the head of a beautiful team of horses, in the background watching approvingly, perhaps enviously, are three lovely women. The impression suggests elegance, wealth and success associated with ownership of this carriage.

This card is in Good Condition, it has never been mounted in an album, it is clean and flat, and the edges show slight wear, and a corner is missing from the lower left. There is some slight discoloration appropriate for its age, but the colors on the side depicting the carriage are clear and crisp. The card is inside a hard plastic jacket, it can be removed for display if desired. The plastic jacket is approx. 7 1/2 inches long by 5 5/8 inches wide. The card itself, measures approx. 7 inches long and is approx. 5 inches wide. Please review photos for full perspective.

The Studebaker Brothers built hundreds of wagons for the North during the Civil War and, by the time the United States was 100 years old, the Studebaker Brothers Manufacturing Co. was the largest producer of horse-drawn vehicles in the world. By then, brothers Peter and Jacob had also joined the company.

As always, thank you for stopping by the shop and for your interest in this piece. Please do not hesitate to contact us with any questions you might have.
