Wisconsin

Greetings from Wisconsin....With this vintage, large letter postcard.

The back of this unused card tells of all the attractions of Wisconsin.

Thinking of the people of Wisconsin as they continue to make history.

Happy Rally Day

Happy Rally Day!  This little gem of a card is a Rally Day Invitation - a reminder of a bygone holiday.  Celebrated to honor George Washington's Birthday, this year's Rally Day is February 23.
The card is a cute, color illustration showing three children with alphabet blocks.

President's Day

To commemorate President's Day



A fabulous color pamphlet



It folds out to show caricatures of all the presidents,



from George Washington to Waren Harding.

Caption this!

A vintage, black and white photo post card, used in the 1980's. The typical postcard template is printed on the back of the card. It was probably found at an antique store.  The front is labeled "Margaretta & Edith"  there are no other clues as to who these two are.  What's their story? 

Finding photos like these reminds me of the blog Forgotten Old Photos.  But at their site, they actually find a good number of the people (or their descendants) that are in the pictures.  You can find some amazing stories at that blog.

I, however, am not so persistent.  I just make up quotes for my old photos.

For this one:  Margaretta "I won't tell, if you don't tell."  Edith "Quit pulling my hair, will you?"

President Johnson

In honor of President's Day, next week

Lyndon B. Johnson

Part of a large collection of Presidential postcards, ranging from Washington to Clinton, and even a few Bush thrown in.  Some are serious, some are humorous. 

Baby in a Basket

I love this little guy...


"Some of the products made by our American Indians"

This is part of a larger collection of vintage Native American photos and post cards.  Although the language on the card is dated (ahem, not PC) the cards depict a variety of people, art, geography, and culture. 
This one has bright colors, printed on textured paper.  This little guy is anything but happy.  Poor kid!
