A stay at the Plaza Hotel

Looks like a great place for a holiday weekend stay, in Wheeling, West Virginia.  I can't wait to eat that the "adjoining restaurant."  Chicken in the Rough sounds delicious, doesn't it?  The back of the card announces this motel's many amenities:

This is an undated, un-circulated, vintage postcard boasting:

MWM Color-Litho "Bursheen" Finished, Made only by MWM Co. Aurora, MO. 

Even if it is a bit crumpled, its a beauty.

Vintage Notecards

Here's another set of vintage notecards. They are flat, with a postcard-like back.  The little images are sweet.  Feel free to use for your own project.  Simply click on the image, then right click to save to your own files.   Perfect to use for your own notecards, collages, scrapbooking or other paper project.

Jack Rabbit

Saddling up big Jack

The text on the back of this silly postcard says, "It is not unusual to break these fellows and use them for ranch work."   This is an unused, color photo postcard, printed in Colorado Springs, Colorado.  The Jackrabbit and Jackalope are a popular subject for western postcards.  I have several in my collection, including this one.

Caption this!

This is a great vintage photo postcard of a man in uniform.  There is no message or notation on the back.   What do you think?  What's the story?

Caption this:

"Welcome Home, Soldier!"

Fresh Blackberries

This card is copyright 1910 by Edward H Mitchell, San Francisco.  It is a fine example of a large fruit advertising card.  The text at the top says: "A carload of blackberries from_____________"

The back of the card, unused, would be a great image for a do-it-yourself card, collaging or scrapbooking.

The Big One Got Away

This vintage postcard features a supersized fish on the back of a GTO.  The front caption says "One of the Small Ones" The back says, "The Big One Got Away."  This card is undated, published by Petley.

United Airlines

A nice vintage travel card.  This one was mailed in 1949, with a one cent stamp.

The reverse text is interesting, too.

Back to School

I love this humorous vintage note card.  Since my kids went back to school last week, I thought it might be appropriate...
