Linen Buckhorn Curio Store Interior San Antonio Texas Horned Heads Postcard 1940s

San Antonio, Texas, USA1935LinenGood

Linen-era color postcard showing the interior of the famous Buckhorn Curio Store in San Antonio, Texas — an overwhelming display of hundreds of mounted deer and elk heads, horns, antlers, and trophy mounts covering every inch of the ceiling and walls, with the largest steer head in existence prominently displayed at rear right. Display cases in the center aisle hold Southwestern curios, textiles, Pueblo pottery, and Native American artifacts. The scene is a vivid record of the mid-century roadside museum phenomenon.
