Description

c1910 RPPC of CHIPPEWA INDIAN from RESERVE, WISCONSIN holding PIPE? by Denison
This is an original real photo postcard (RPPC) from early in the 20th century showing a Chippewa Indian from Reserve, Wisconsin according to the caption seen within the photo.  The caption was exposed directly onto the photographic paper when the image was originally printed.  Also printed at the bottom of the photo is "Denison Photo" and the number "121" which identified this particular view.
This Native American Indian from the Chippewa tribe is wearing what looks like a combination of both traditional and Americanized dress that is very simple looking with very few adornments.  Is that a pipe in his hand?
The 3½" x 5½" post card is in good condition with great sharpness and contrast but the highlights have lightened up and lost some detail, and there is some silver mirroring around the perimeter which can only be seen when holding the postcard at a specific angle to the light. The back of the divided-back postcard has the name "Noko" pre-printed within the area for the postage stamp which identifies the type of photographic paper (Noko) that the image was printed on.  Noko was sold by Ansco beginning around 1907 which was also the first year the dividing line was preprinted onto the backs of postcards to delineate the "from" side on the left from the "to" side on the right. Please use the photos to judge the postcard's condition.
The real photo postcard is guaranteed to be an original from the early 1900s and not a reproduction.
See my other eBay listings for additional Indian photographs from the 1800s and early 1900s including two more RPPC's by this same photographer from presumably the same time period.

SHIPPING:
Domestic shipping is .35 via USPS First Class Mail or .50 via USPS Priority Mail with delivery confirmation.
The shipping fee also includes postal insurance plus the additional fees imposed by EBay 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 eBay'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 0.00, 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 eBay requirement. If the item sells for more than 0.00, 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 eBay both require signature confirmation on packages worth more than 0.00.
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 eBay's rules.
PAYMENT OPTIONS:
EBay has made changes to their payment rules whereby (in eBay'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 eBay. Only approved electronic methods will be allowed." As a seller, eBay now prohibits me from even using the words that describe what those traditional paper-transaction payment methods are. EBay strongly encourages all buyers to pay for their items by using PayPal (previously an eBay-owned company). I accept PayPal, and encourage you to use it, but I will not force you to use it. EBay'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 eBay's rules, which state that if you (the buyer) request a different payment option other than PayPal, I can accept it.
