Description: PLEASE READ BEFORE BUYING: I sell ONLY ORIGINAL items and NOT ANY reproductions. THREE SCANS will show you the front and back and important detail on the drum kit. This sale is for ONE very RARE cabinet photo of the QUANAH FIRE DEPARTMENT BAND of FIRE STATION #1 in QUANAH , TEXAS . (uncertain of the exact date, I am listing CIRCA 1890). Hand written (in pencil), on the back, it is quoted as THE QUANAH CITIZENS BAND (but the front of their shirts illustrates FIRE STATION #1). Almost all of the men in the photograph are identified on the back. On the lower left part of the image, there is a big bass drum with a hand painted portrait of Chief Quanah Parker and there is hand painted lettering that reads QUANAH BAND . On the floor, in front of the bass drum, is the fire department's mascot DOG (some type of Spaniel) and it is wearing a Fire Department BAND HAT with a plume of feathers on top of the hat. ...looks like the dog may be bored or sleeping or both. If you zoom in close, you will notice the name of the photographerARTIST: F. L. Saunders. CONDITION: Very old with flaws, rounded corners, chips, etc. but in pretty darn good condition. Approximate size of this cabinet photo including the original mounting board is 12" X 9 1/2". The "EBAY ITEM" thing is just a loose piece of paper that is NOT attached to the photo. The "quarter" is not attached either. The mounting board seems quite strong and very rigid. Below, I did my best to interpret the names of people listed in the 2 columns on the back of the mounting board: Clarence Strong Jack R??? Frank Goshom or Gosham Chit?? Pendergraft – J. A. Rester Fill Alverson S E Dauthett or Douthett ???? Dan Bowden L. Warren Hill Clover Second Row Jeff Stone L. R. Ed George Johnny Doole or Doolen John H. or W. Doolen Jeff Stone Will Al???sm Arthur E.
