I've been bidding on some postcards at auction on ebay.  Doing pretty good thus far.  I'm winning about 95% of the bids I have entered.  Here is a hot postcard...so far eleven bidders are fighting it out.  They have it up to $15.00 plus.  I'll let this one go.  Too rich for my blood.  (By the way, that's a Beechcraft Aircraft, C33 (or possibly C-11, I can't quite tell) Debonair.

The camera loves red, so nice choice for whoever produced the card..

It certainly does.  Nice and shiny like the red candy apples that I used to eat as a kid.  That postcard sold for $15.50.  Looks like the Beechcraft Company put out the postcard themselves:

A cool looking place to stop and eat something but sadly it is closed.  There is still a road view, though, with the sign still up. https://www.bing.com/maps?q=oaks+motel+brooksville+florida&form=EDGNB2&mkt=en-us&httpsmsn=1&refig=7c314fafa3a741e2ef943a8314ebd2cd&sp=1&ghc=1&qs=AS&pq=oaks+motel%2C+brooksville%2C+florida&sc=2-32&cvid=7c314fafa3a741e2ef943a8314ebd2cd&cc=US&setlang=en-US  (If you go there, click on the street view and click to the right three or four times.)

The postcard was mailed to Gracie on February 26, 1912.  From Wiki:
Quote
After announcing that he would run against President Taft for the 1912 Republican nomination, former President Theodore Roosevelt was asked at a press conference in Boston whether he intended "to support the Republican nominee, whoever he may be" and replied that he would.  After Taft received the nomination, Roosevelt ran against him as candidate of the Progressive Party.

Actor Robert Morley posing with some royal guards.  This postcard was up for bid awhile back but I didn't bid on it.
