This real photo postcard is a great item for avid circus and collector enthusiasts. Featuring Frances Belle O'Connor of the Sells-Floto Circus, the postcard showcases her amazing marksmanship – where she could hold a gun with one foot and pull the trigger with the other. Born on September 8, 1914 in Granite City, Minnesota, she traveled with various circuses over her lifetime including Cole Brothers and Sells-Foto circuses. Her accomplishments were even featured in an iconic movie called Freaks filmed in 1932. This card was removed from a scrapbook, which makes it all the more unique to own as a piece of history. Any collector lucky enough to get their hands on this rare souvenir will be able to treasure it forever as a reminder of the why old circuses are so important.
