Station WBMS

1450 Kc. - 250 watts

What? No operator street address? Most QSL cards provide that info. I found one once from someone whose station was in my building (last picture - NOT part of the auction).

Where did "ORITANA" originate? I always thought it was just a postcard misprint, but I see it listed as such in legitimate sources, including this site (http://www.hackensacknow.org/index.php?topic=571.0 at the very end of the thread), "The courts and lawyers of New Jersey 1661-1912, Volume 3"
By Edward Quinton Keasbey, and The New York Times.

Does that title make sense? Shouldn't that be "east OF Prospect"?

Anyone know exactly where on Central this scene is?

Seller thinks it's c. 1908.

Seller's description:

Real picture postcard of The Corner Shop inside Hackensack Hospital in Hackensack New Jersey.



I thought this was a mixup with cards from Happy Days or something. I've never seen this 50s/60s shop. According to the reverse side of the card, this is a "restaurant".

Seller's description:

"VINTAGE ADVERTISEMENT-STEEL HANDY BUILDINGS FOR ALL PURPOSES-JOHN COOPER CO., 309 SECOND ST., HACKENSACK, N.J.-SEPTEMBER 1938-RARE"

I have a very rare & very interesting advertisement that dates back to September of 1938.  This ad is in very good condition despite the fact it is over 70 years old.  The paper is in very good condition showing only normal signs of wear. This is a very rare  advertisement measuring appx. 2 1/2" x 1".  This is a very small advertisement.  The ad originally appeared in a rare back issue of The American Home Magazine.

I see a "CLEANERS" sign in the strip mall where Chicken Magician is now. So if your chicken has a hint of perc, you know why.

I also see something else interesting. It's hard to read, but I think that's an old Frosty Maid ice cream truck! I can't find a single image in Google Images of one of these trucks.

Wow! Double value!

Hackensack Anderson Street Railroad Station photographed in 1962.  Since the station burnt down last year this would be a good record of it for historical or modeling purposes.


This one's an 8x10.

Of course, this is the Passaic St crossing. I notified the seller, so maybe he'll change it by the time you read this.

Online Auctions/Local Images (Moderated by BLeafe) / Hackensack Line Railway Ticket - 1917
« on: February 14, 2010, 12:37:17 AM »
http://xrl.us/HackLineTicket


Seller's description:

Vintage, as is, 1922 ticket from Public Service Railway's Hackensack Line.  The Public Service Railway, owend by the Public Services Corporation of New Jersey, opeated most of the streetcar lines in NJ by the early 20th century.


I don't see anything that says "1922".



UPDATE:

I sent the seller a long, convoluted explanation about why I thought this ticket was from 1917 instead of 1922. It had to do with guessing that there were unseen letters and numbers under the tape mark - a "1" before the "917" primarily and a "T" before the "HU" to clinch it.

The "T" would make it say "THU-NOV 22" (Thursday).

Nov. 22 in 1922 was a Wednesday, but was a Thursday in 1917.

Voilà! He just wrote back: "you are correct, it is 1917, not 1922. Thanks for catching this!"
