Would Love To See Some Of The Old Postcards With People On

Would love to see old postcards with people on them-the old black and white ones-like the bride and groom, family photos that they put on postcards and sent. I'll share mine if you share yours!

hats say the "USS Nebraska".

If only I still had the ones that I used to have.

very interesting family photo postcards!

This is my Great Aunt Carrie and her prize horse.
The back of the post card said "Dear Brother" and how she wanted her horse to perk up his ears for the photo--then signed off. Seems she could have written more than just that, but I see a lot of old post cards that say very little on the back. Some I've seen say " Just wanted to write and say "Hi" , hope to hear from you soon". I have written many that were so squished with everything I wanted to include in that terribly small space! ha

Thanks!

The man second from the right is my grandfather Mathews (the tallest). Looks like they all stood by the train-like back drop and grinned.The other guys are friends from what I understand.

what a great collection of family history cards..they area priceless and should be passed down through the generations!

and they have to hold their breaths, smiles and postures for at least 10 seconds! wow!
