2 John Rockefeller Greetings Antique Postcards. USA Historical Figure. 1 Glitter

Description: 2 John Rockefeller Greetings Antique Postcards. USA Historical Figure. 1 Glitter These are a nice group of antique postcards from the early 1900s. The postcards show John Rockefeller, who was the founder and owner of Standard Oil Company. One postcard shows his home in Forest Hill, Cleveland Ohio. This is a very nice postcard, and it is in a black/gray and white colors. This is a NOVELTY postcard, and it has added GLITTER to the design; at the grass level, and then on the various floors of the house. The other postcard shows him in a hat along with his wife, standing outside a pullman train. The postcards are flat printed and they are UNPOSTED, and would have been published in the 1908-1912 era. One of them was "Printed in Germany" (the house), and the other was "Made in USA". These are flat printed postcards. Novelty postcards with GLITTER were not often made because of the extra steps involved in making them. They are truly collector items that are a pleasure to look at. These are nice postcards to put into a collection. They have historical significance, and document someone that was important to the business life of the USA. John Davison Rockefeller Sr. (July 8, 1839 – May 23, 1937) was an American business magnate and philanthropist. He has been widely considered the wealthiest American of all time and the richest person in modern history. Rockefeller was born into a large family in Upstate New York who moved several times before eventually settling in Cleveland. He became an assistant bookkeeper at age 16 and went into several business partnerships beginning at age 20, concentrating his business on oil refining. Rockefeller founded the Standard Oil Company in 1870. He ran it until 1897 and remained its largest shareholder. These are BETTER POSTCARDS and good for a collector.
