Arnold Bros Postcards

The Arnold Brothers (Charles and Newton Arnold of Rushland) published a series of postcards depicting scenes across Bucks County, Pennsylvania in the early 1900s. The series includes 249 numbered cards showing churches, hotels, stores, post offices, bridges, mills, and scenic views from dozens of towns and townships.

This collection catalogues 244 cards. Most carry a modern comparison photograph from Robert Chase Palmer’s Google My Maps project, plus original postcard scans from eBay listings. Palmer published a book, Postcards of Bucks County, 2020, featuring all 249 cards — available on Blurb. Cards #6, #24, #27, #45, #51, and #133 are documented here from marketplace scans. The remaining numbers in the main run — #58, #73, #151, and #208–249 — have not yet been sighted in any catalog or marketplace listing; Palmer notes the numbering “goes as high as 249” but that the series may be incomplete.

#52 is a placeholder slot: no copy has surfaced in any catalog or listing tracked here, so there is no image or subject on record, but a longtime Arnold Bros collector reports the card exists in two varieties and rates it the rarest in the first hundred. A handful of other numbers are also known in more than one variety — #4 was printed with both an undivided and a divided back — so a single series number can be owned once, twice, or not at all.

Rarest cards — flagged from Palmer's catalogue and from collector correspondence (July 2026). Nothing is dropped from this list when a card turns out to be easier to find than expected; a ★ means at least one source calls it hard to get.

Carversville and Doylestown cards also command premiums due to collector demand.
