1908 - Three real photo postcards from the heyday of Rawhide, Nevada, all with good contrast and clarity. 1) Titled, “RAWHIDE.”, clear long view of the town. 2) Rawhide, Nevada. Balloon Hill, May’08 printed bottom right on view. Mines and headframes visible covering Balloon Hill. 3) “Rawhide, Nev.” View of the town from a different direction. Small no. 3 at right denotes where 3 Main st. was located. The Rawhide boom and bust lasted just three years. The town exploded to a tent city of 10,000 almost overnight, but after the disastrous fire in 1908, the mining camp never really recovered. Rawhide postcards are scarce and the condition is excellent. -61658
