Vintage Real Photo Postcard Bonanza

I bought a box of real photo postcards at an auction about a month ago. This category is maybe one of my favorite things to sell.  I love to buy them, read the notes on the back, research them, imagine the people who purchased them and the time period they lived in.  It is a thin sliver of time caught on a postcard -- usually dating between 1905-1945.

I love the story this postcard tells...

could the photographer not even write straight?

These are two identical postcards:

Iceberg shaped café and gas station in New Mexico.

 

Plane and dog sled postcard from Alaska.

In this group of postcards I actually got TWO

of prize winning roosters.

I am keeping the other one for now.

People love their animals.

This thing looks like a submarine.

Amphibian airplane.

A snapshot of San Francisco.

All are going to ebay soon.
