Trade Card for Thomson's Security Rein Holder, Babcock Buggy Co., circa 1890
01
Artifact Overview
This card advertises the Thomson Security Rein Holder, which kept a horse's reins within easy reach but did not require the driver to hold them. As the number of horse-drawn vehicles sold in the U.S. grew over the 19th century, so did the variety of accessories available for them. Safety is the major selling point used in this ad.
