  Wonderful!

• Toby said:

  That elephant appears to be completely unrestrained. Those were the days.

  This looks like the Bostock and Wombwell Menagerie, there's a photo similar to this one dated 1913, at this link www.nfa.dept.shef.ac.uk/history/galleries/gall03.html

  @lisabee73 I think you're on to something there! Thanks so much for the info. I'll it pass on to the keeper now looking after this collection.

  There were no laser printers or PCs in 1974. Microprocessors were not yet common. No bar codes were used in the mails. There was no internet.
  
  A Pitney Bowes postal meter machine printed postage. She's writing the weight on the envelope with a pencil. The next step is to carry it to the Pitney Bowes machine and print a "metered" postage label.
  
  Addresses either were on printed labels by data processig people or handwritten.
  
  In fact, the U.S. Postal Service still used horse drawn wagons to move mail between towns. No, I'm kidding about the wagons.

  Aviation and military connectors are beautiful.
  
  Someone could try focus-stacking these images...
