POSTCARD 8134       [last updated 06-13-2018]



I have twelve distinct views of Postcard 8134.

Differences to the front:
     Card is generally lighter (HHT 2, 5, 7, 10 & 12) or darker (HHT 1, 3, 4, 6, 9 & 11) in tone
     HHT 5, 8 & 9 have a red title, all others have black lettering

Differences to the back:
     Title for HHT 1 is 'FISH POT.' while HHT 2, 3 & 4 are 'FISH POT' (no period)
     HHT 3 & 4 have a line separating the description and 'THIS SPACE FOR MESSAGE', unlike HHT 1 & 2
     HHT 4 was sold with other views in a flip folder where the postcards are affixed to the left edge (you tore off a card to mail each one individually)
     HHT 5 description slightly different (font, layout) when compared with HHT 6 & 7
     Because HHT 8, 10, 11 & 12 are from a postcard folder its back view is another postcard and has no place for the address and message
     HHT 9 stamp box different and has a double dividing line instead of a single line
     HHT 9 has an additional message, 'THIS SPACE CAN BE USED FOR A WRITTEN MESSAGE, USING ONE-CENT STAMP'
     HHT 8's folder does not have additional text on the back like HHT 12 text (Yellowstone Park Hotel Company News Stands et.al.)
     HHT 1, 2, 3 & 4 have man logo at top while HHT 5, 6, 7 & 9 with vine layout.

Earliest Postmark:
     HHT Co. Type 1 - July 15, 1913 (from an eBay postcard)
     HHT Co. Type 2 - June 28, 1915 (from an eBay postcard)
     HHT Co. Type 3 - July 30, 1915 (from a CardCow postcard)
     HHT Co. Type 4 - None
     HHT Co. Type 5 - August 8, 1911 (from an eBay postcard)
     HHT Co. Type 6 - None
     HHT Co. Type 7 - August 28, 1912
     HHT Co. Type 8 - June 22, 1911
     HHT Co. Type 9 - June 28, 1909
     HHT Co. Type 10 - None
     HHT Co. Type 11 - July 19, 1915
     HHT Co. Type 12 - None

Other remarks:
     Very similar to three postcards (R-31620, A-6897, R-57481, & FC) and a McINTOSH magic lantern slide (CBM)
