ANTIQUE CHOW POSTCARD COLLECTION – donated to the archives by Mary Counihan

It took some time, but I finally  have all but a few of the 50 antique postcards that were graciously donated by Mary Counihan, scanned, labeled and archived. Most are undated with no postage, so that is another project for a rainy week….researching postcard backs to date them more precisely.

Most of the cards in the collection date from the 1880’s -1920’s.  Many are RPPC (Real photo postcards) which was a service photo developers would offer. Bring them your film and they would make postcards for you, featuring your personal snapshots to send to friends and family.


Dated 1904 on back
ON BACK 1899 Pam Duff England
Back of card says “Fluff” June 1925

I do my best to be as accurate as possible in my research, however many times written history finds a way to "morph" over time. I love your comments and appreciate all feedback, additions and corrections my readers have to offer to help make this a well rounded and accurate archive.
