Description

The listing, Lot of SEVEN OLD Post cards from the Past! has ended.

Lot of SEVEN old, old, old, old, old, old, old post cards. Five are postmarked 1935, with four of them having the 1 cent Jefferson stamp, and the other one having the 1 cent Franklin stamp.

The card showing downtown Reno, Nevada is from 1907, and has the 1 cent Franklin stamp. NOTE the postmark....it says FAST MAIL....Ha!

The last card is from 1942, showing the Hope House in Easton, Maryland. It has the 1 cent Statue of Liberty stamp on it.

If you look at the four similar cards, you'll see that the school mailed your grades to you. I guess this was before they started issuing regular report cards. Interesting!

Lovely R.P.O. cancel.
Rail Mail was a heck of a lot faster and more reliable than the Pony Express.
Imagine – "Fast Mail", for a penny...Lord a'mighty!

Yeah, back then, everybody would have been ganged up in the streets talking about it. That was the thing to do when something new and "amazing" came along.
