Dear Friends - We have indeed been
enjoying the scenery around Cherokee Village.
It is a beautiful spot.  We have had a very
lovely home in which to stay
with all conveniences.  Reckon
you are enjoying the Fair
at present.  Soon we will
both be home to chat over
our experiences of different
parts of our country.

A rare postcard from the movie Bandolero.  It is from a long ago auction that I didn't bid on.  I think I see Dino standing there, waiting to be strung up.

thanks for this thread

You bet.  I'm very happy to share these postcards with you, otherwise they just sit in a box with nobody but myself to look at them.

This is the third oldest postcard in my collection.  At first I thought it was a mailed store receipt, but no, as the image below states, it is an official postal card - one cent.

I did some limited bidding on this week's Ebay postcard auction,  Instead of pouring over seventy plus pages of postcards up for bid, I entered searches for the ones that I might be interested in.  I've already lost the first card that I bid on...  This one, showing a big potato from Kern County in Bakersfield, California.  But that's allright, they can have it.  I've got another one almost exactly like it in stock already. (Mine doesn't have the words on it.)  If you're lucky, you will see it on this thread someday.

I promised to start sharing my collection as soon as I had access to it. I was looking through to see what would be a great one to start, and found quite a unique one to the rest of the ones I have.

How did this one initially catch my eye?

Hi P.L.K. - Are you having that
light on much?  I am both
late and early but am enjoying
every minute of it.  Am
having a grand time seeing
the old place and all the
relatives and friends.  Have
been doing some hunting
and fishing and not been
coming home empty handed
either.  Say how many weeks
did you say I could have.
Be good now - Dick

The 4th of July parade celebration at Manistee MI.  circa 1910

Roughly the same spot 109 years later.  One of those towns that didn’t seem to change to much from this postcard.
