These answers (this post and the next) is one of the reasons I love the
list so much!
The scan doesn't do the card justice.. but I'm glad you lean to what I
most suspected about it being a bromide print. Your comments about the
tinting and the process of buffing are great...
If i get anyone writing me about it on ebay I'll quote you :-)
Not much interest so far. I think that the "real photo" from that market
tends more to people, cities,buildings and such. The C R Childs
card I have up is garnering a lot and already has a bid.
Thanks so much!

It sure looks like a selectively hand-coloured bromide, perhaps even
chloride, print to me. As for being very glossy there are ways to get
around the deglazing that would happen if an already glazed print was
coloured. The yellow dye could be a waterproof ink wash applied to an
unglazed print. When it dried the print could then be re-wet and
glazed, giving a perfect gloss finish despite the retouching.
Sometimes a glazed fibre print could be retouched carefully enough, if
it wasn't wet too much, that the surface could be buffed back to a
good gloss, enough to make it almost undetectable.

Another postcard from my friends family.. calling all chemists
This is a very glossy photo - anyone know anything about this kind of
tinting back then? I can't figure it out... not a traditional tinting where
the whole photo would have been colored.. or was it once and
lost other colors? Is the yellow. thre is sime "silvering out" but it
sint'very noticiable because of the background exposure.
anyone?
