Original RPPC Excelsior Auto Cycle Motorcycle Men Kitten Postcard Real Photo
We are pleased to offer an original real photo postcard rppc of two men and a kitten astride an Excelsior Auto Cycle Motorcycle.
The emblem on the bike notes "Excelsior Auto Cycle" and it has a visible Massachusetts plate number 9513, from 1917 if we are reading it correctly.
The rppc measures approximately 5 3/8 and 3 1/8 inches.  It has been trimmed, and was once in an album with some residue on the back.  Two small pinholes in the upper corners as well.
Nicely taken photograph, with good sharpness and tonality.  A rare card.

From wikipedia:
"Excelsior Motor Manufacturing & Supply Company was an American motorcycle manufacturer operating in Chicago from 1907 to 1931. It was purchased by Ignaz Schwinn, proprietor of bicycle manufacturer Arnold, Schwinn & Co. in 1912. In 1912, an Excelsior was the first motorcycle to be officially timed at a speed of 100 mph. The Henderson Motorcycle Company became a division of Excelsior when Schwinn purchased Henderson in 1917. By 1928, Excelsior was in third place in the U.S. motorcycle market behind Indian and Harley-Davidson. The Great Depression convinced Schwinn to order Excelsior's operations to cease in September 1931."
