• Nice card! Having collected these POSTCARDS done by the GARRAWAY Company of Rutherford, New Jersey for over 115 years (since I first found one) It's unusual to see a new one. I have numbers up to over 400. The FIRST ones were done about 1913 and the last in the later 20's. Each card has a brief but technical description of item pictured on reverse. Most are of Mining Equipment and related. - John Taylor
