| Another postcard found in pictures that my mother-in-law had. Sent from the Grand Canyon in Arizona in June of 1929. My husband's Uncle Leon and Aunt Lillian sent the card to Leon's mother in Chillicothe. I have been so surprised to find quite a few old postcards in the memorabilia that I have. I also enjoy looking at those posted by the people out there who really are collectors and so knowledgeable on the subject. Glad I found you. |

LOL. I brought up your post and thought to myself - did you just splash coffee on your monitor? I attempted to get rid of the three spots, but as soon as I scrolled down a fraction of an inch, I realized that the spots were on the card!
ReplyDeleteGreat card, Carol! I'm busy doing an old Lightning jar, and won't be posting any mail art this week, but I'm going to play along anyway.
I have a very similar Grand Canyon card but haven't posted it (yet). It isn't quite as old as that. Lucky you that your family saved all these memorabilia. I wonder how challenging it was back then to visit the Grand Canyon. We drove there last winter and it was lovely, though bitterly cold. We worried that snow would interfere with our visit but it wasn't a problem.
ReplyDeleteThe tinted colors remind me of those "color" TV screens that were sold in the dime store in the 60's: Blue on top for the sky, green at the bottom for grass. Great card! Thank you for sharing!
ReplyDeleteI don't have any really old family postcards, but I have saved all the ones I have received and some that other family members gave me. I have made some memory books with scans of both front and back of some of the cards.
ReplyDeleteWonderful old Grand Canyon card. Love the colors on these old cards. Happy PFF
