Description
The listing, Vintage Family Post Card book. 1905 to 1917 & beyond has ended.
Vintage Velvet & Brass Post Card Album filled with vintage family postcards. I didn't take photos of each and every card as it would be impossible to show all in photos.
Some postcards are cancelled and dated by the post office. Dates from 1905 to 1917 plus many more. Some post cards are clean and never used. Wish it was possible to show each and everyone. Some of the old time sayings are heartfelt and wonderful.
A major portion of these are Christmas Wishes..Please view all the photos for descriptions of them. All are removable to look at all. The Album is 6 &1/2 inches high, the width is 5 & 1/4 inches, see photos for that.
Questions & Comments
Hi Nancy, How many postcards are there? already a fan & w
Good Evening sharonhinshawpayne. The album is full on both sides. I will have to count them tomorrow for you. It's late for me and I'm sleepy. Will post how many there are in the morning. Thanks for asking! Blessings & Joy to you~~~
This is a treasured find. I see by some of the cards someone in the family had a sense of humor. You have some unique items Nancy and a contagious smile! :)
Thank you terrybastian3! My Uncles and Dad loved the comic ones..while the Ladies in the family went for heartfelt and loving..lol. Blessings & Joy to you~~`
reborn1949 thank you for the wonderful comments. I too love the older things. I've tried to save a lot from my Grandmothers, Uncles and my Mom & Dad. Everything from the older era seems so much nicer! Blessings & Joy to you and yours~~~~~
Is the book as old as the postcards? What holds the postcards in place? It looks as if the postcards are inside clear vinyl protective pages. Is that correct? You always have great stuff. Thanks
Hi parbogast! Thanks for your questions. On the Post Card Album I really don't think it's vintage. Maybe 20 to 30 years old?. The post cards are in plastic protective sleeves made for them and are old. Thank you, thank you! Blessings & Joy to you~~~
Very nice collection! I have my own collection of vintage & antique postcards that I treasure... they are like a window into a kinder, gentler time. I think the oldest I have that is postmarked is dated from the early 1890s. I would REALLY love to bid on, win & add these to my collection, but unfortunately, are way short on credits at the moment, but, it costs nothing to just admire them, right? LOL ;) GOD bless!
Thank you, thank you pennyfreemanpartin! The era's of uncomplicated ways were in hindsight a much more enjoyable, comforting time. I'm so thrilled you are watching. I too watch auctions I would dearly love to win even though I haven't the credits to bid. Blessings & Joy to you and yours!
