    Vintage totally original 1905 cabinet photo showing 5 Birmingham firemen or fire-fighters.
    Photo by Bert Covell who, according to Frances Robb's recent book on the history of photography in Alabama, had his studio at 3rd Avenue & 19th Street North in Birmingham in 1905.
    Image area measures 5
    1/2
    x 4 inches; mount measures 8 x 6
    1/2
    inches.
    By far the earliest Birmingham Firemen / Fire Department photo listed on ebay as of 4 April 2021 - in either completed OR current listings
    (Starting 18 March 2020 - though I'm social distancing myself and have absolutely no symptoms - I will rub [until dry] a fresh dollop of rubbing alcohol into my hands immediately before picking your items from my shelves and packing them - and again when I mail them).
    some stains & wear to mount; image foxed some & a few tiny dots at top of image above head of 2nd from right guy; still a remarkably sharp image to be 115 years old. VERY GOOD

    Remember that the

    is not attached to the item. It is put on the scanner bed merely to protect the uniqueness or near uniqueness of an image so that the high bidder gets an item that has not been copied via someone's computer. The penny DOES NOT hide any faults or any damage!
