You know it’s a treasure when you see that undivided back, baby! Postcards started getting that line down the center of the back in 1907. Previous to that, the only writing allowed on the back was the address. That’s why you sometimes see postcards, like this one, with cramped handwriting around the front image. The card is in good condition with aging & wear appropriate for its age. - Curator’s Note: Each artifact in the shop is an authentic vintage or antique piece. Our items are carefully curated for their beauty, uniqueness & charm rather than their condition. Everything in the shop is sold ‘as is’. You can expect signs of wear that are appropriate with aging such as discoloration, curling, small rips & evidence of previous ownership. I try to capture any extreme flaws in pictures & questions are always welcome. - Caring for Your Artifact: Take care of your artifact by keeping & displaying it in a climate-controlled area. When storing books, photos & other ephemera, use acid-free tissue paper or archival plastic sleeves (polyester, polypropylene & polyethylene). For repairs, use pH neutral adhesive & acid-free tape. Avoid using rubber bands, paperclips, tape or glue (unless archival quality) to store or mend your artifacts.
