TIFF: The stagecoach picture is one I have never seen before. It appears they may have refinished the outside of a coach and made it into a "mail coach." Is this a recent photo from SDC? Where is the stagecoach located. It appears to be in the older part of SDC because of the street lamp next to it.

Please post the photo of the train car next to tintype. I'm eager to see how that looks.

The stagecoach pictured has been at the city for at least the last 2 years.  Both years it was parked in front of the Mine Restaurant, but not exactly in the same place.

I took the picture Oct. 22, 2011.

I'm not good at describing, but maybe this picture will help.
The coach was somewhere in the area that I put the star. That's about as specific as I can be because I don't remeber exactly.

I like that you used the map and a star. Thats some swift thinking! I woulda tried and failed to explain it!

I sat and stared at the screen for 15 minutes trying to figure out how to explain it. A pop up ad with a "you are here" thing showed up and gave me the idea!

Stocked up today at the antique mall...4 postcards for $1.25. I got Rustic Oak Best Western Branson (Hotel near the landing on the hill), Silver DOllar Jubilee @ Echo Hollow and The Frisco train  (both large scale postcards (and the fourth was a random StL Art Museum!).

I saw so many others if price would have not been an option, Meramec Caverns Mug from the 60s $3, A 1950's creamer container from Grand Ole Opry $0.50, an Ozark tree plaque with a photo of a creek on it $2.00, An O.K. Ozark Kuntry Realty metal sign from Mtn Grove MO $48, and BUNCH of Taneycomo fliers and postcards from the past 40-50 yrs.

Also a really cool postcard folder from Six Flags over Mid America from 1974 that I might go back and get...
