Postman Kalle Pohja in the 1910s.
This is a publication from the Helsinki Postal Museum. From a slide show of photos of postal history that they have on their site, I would say Postman Kalle Pohja was fairly unlucky. Most of the others seem to have motorised transport.

Cool photo!
ReplyDeleteIt's a wonderful way of looking back into the past and see how postmen and their vehicles have changed up to now :D
At least Postman Kalle Pohja's mode of transpo is more Earth-friendly and keeps him fit everyday.
Goodness, that does look hard work!
ReplyDeleteThat is quite the bicycyle, Sheila! I can't imagine what delivering mail in the winter would be like!
