(2) Two Antique Real Photo Postcards both sent to Miss Geneva M. Perry of Sherman, Maine in 1909. (See below for more information on Miss Perry.) One depicts two lumberjacks holding their log peaveys with a sea of logs behind them. Some appear to be floating on a river, or embedded in ice. The other photo depicts a man seated upon a sled loaded with logs, drawn by a pair of horses. One is signed "Bert" on the back, and the other by "Papa." Divided backs, AZO stampbox, writing on back and addressed but not postally used. Condition: These are original photo postcards, not a copy or reproduction. They are in very good to excellent condition. Comments: The log peavey was used for the turning of heavy logs or dislodging them from entanglement. It was named for blacksmith Joseph Peavey of Upper Stillwater, Maine, who invented the tool as a refinement to the cant hook in the 1850s.
