Thank-You Hegewalker! I'm loving these old postcards- I remember my Grandmother taking me to malls (I'd drink Orange-Julius till I was sick) and fairgrounds when I was little to postcard expos- I didn't have much interest in them then, and two years ago her whole collection was they sold at auction! Now I find out how much I LOVE old postcards....Go Figure!
I wonder if there are still postcard fairs, or if now they are all sold on-line....

Thank-You Everyone!
These are amazing. Where did you ever find these??
Cleaning out my Grandmothers attic...She had a postcard collection that she kept in albums but all of those were sold at an auction, Ratts. These are the one that were just lumped in a box full of bookmarks, recipes clippings, and other 'stuff'. It is the colors that really got my attention. I know nothing of postcards, I just really like them now. Today I found a program scorecard from 1933 world series. Its all things that nobody in my family wanted & was to be discarded, but I've been having so much fun going thru it all. Everything I've posted on this site pretty much came out of that attic or basement...
I was just about to write the almost the same thing that BELLIN68 wrote. So here goes: Great Coloring and Beautiful Art Work
