The listing, Pair of early Washington, DC linen postcards, vintage and unused has ended.
These are two of the half-dozen vintage postcards I brought back from a college class trip to Washington, DC. They are unused and linen texture. The scan did not catch the full bridge postcard, but it is all there!! Only minor corner wear and aging.
