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.

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.

Caption this!

The caption that comes with this image is "The first one I landed"  But surely something more clever than that is running through this fisherman's head.  This card is undated, but the image and paper indicate it is quite old. 

What do you think this chap would say?

What a melon?!?

A great reproduction large fruit and bathing beauty postcard. 

I'm Sending You a Lemon...

"I'm sending you a lemon from ____________"

Christine from the Daily Postcard inspired me to post a giant fruit card and I  found this large lemon postcard in my collection. She posted three giant veggie postcards yesterday.
This color card was printed in San Francisco in 1910.

Big Fish

These Whoppers Snap at Anything

Part of a genre of outrageously sized things (fruit, animals, vegetables, etc).  These add a little levity to the day.

Don't let Monday bite you in the.........!

Big Oranges

This unused postcard is a great example of a color advertisemnt card used around the turn of the century.  Dated 1909, the top says "A carload of mammoth navel oranges from ______________________."  This card is published by Edward H. Mitchell, San Francisco.

Grasshopper Cowboy

Ride 'em Cowboy!  One of many postcards showing ridiculously large insects, animals, or foods.  Another old one!
