These postcards are from my Grandfather's collection, they were sent between him & his soon to be first wife. She passed away apx. ten years later, leaving him with a young son. The centre card was posted as "Tiny" was leaving the UK for Canada, the image is of a famous English Actress from the era.
I hope you enjoy them.

Thanks for the Love & the comment bratjjd, I'm glad that I can share these pc's, I will post some more.
Are you getting old & forgetful or is your collection to big. :)
Like they say It was a senior moment:)lol
is funny because i am only in my 40's
what happens i, I been scanning a lot of the collection
that i like to share with everybody and of course my scanner is toooooo slow.
and yes please i would like to see more.
I have also been scanning old photos and PC's it was slow going so I bought a faster scanner, it's still going to take years I think. I want to scan them all so that I can save copies with other family members in case something happens to the originals.
I think that's a great idea, is really nice to look back on family member past.
i wish sometimes i had answer to some of them.
Thanks for the L & for stopping by for a look timbaran.
What treasures you have of your family. Thank you for sharing.
Thanks Lisa, they mean a lot to us, & we have many more to share.
Thanks for the L's, monroe4life, wolcott1, Lisa, bratjdd & packrat.
