Antique Postcard Civil War Libby Prison Richmond VA Christo Cola Early Soda For Sale

Amazing crossover postcard that shows Libby Prison infamous for its harsh treatment of union officers during the Civil War, also famous for a huge escape where 109 union officers tunnel, their way out of the prison, and then after the war, the building was taken apart and reassembled in Chicago as a civil war museum. The interesting crossover part of this card is the advertising on the back where the card is described as being compliments of Christo manufacturing company manufacturers of pure fruit, syrups extracts and fountain requisites and the makers of Christo ginger ale, cola, and cherry cola. Great piece for Civil War collectors as well as soda, advertising and bottle collectors.
