Found these too..

Here are some more I found in a box at my Great Uncle's house!


I originally thought this was one a photo, since it's really thick & shiny, but its actually a postcard. I don't know who the little girl is, or the significance of her. Kind of reminds me of an easter dress & basket!


I'm not sure what these are actually called, but I always called them radio calling cards. After you contacted someone on your radio, you would send them one of your cards. I guess it's not really a postcard, but I'm posting it anyway!


This one has a photo of the Yankee Office in Dublin, NH. It says on the back that it's a set of 6, one from each New England State. You could buy them individually for 25 cents each, or get them free with a magazine subscription to Yankee Magazine.

I have a few from this same place. They took a skiing trip here one year, and I found all the photos along with the post cards!


Here's another one from the skiing trip.


And another :)


This one is from Great Hill Lake, in Cobalt, Connecticut. My family used to own a lake house there. But that was sold a while ago, and now we just own a lot there that we would like to build another cabin on.


Here's another one of Great Hill Lake.


This one is from the Berkshire Inn, located in Great Barrington Massachusetts. Looks like a nice little place to stay! I didn't bother blurring the address, because this is from 1941.


Another one from Great Barrington, Massachusetts!


This one was sent from some of my Uncle's friends from Bruxelles aka Brussels, Belgium. I'm not sure who they are, or what they were doing in Belgium. But this was apparently sent in 1935, so again not blurring the address.


This one was sent from Great Barrington, Massachusetts in 1947. Most likely from the skiing trip :)

Found these..

I found these in a box at my Great Uncle's house!



This one has a picture of the "Old Toll Gate Sign in the Lobby of Berkshire Inn. Great Barrington, Mass".




On the back, it says: " HOTEL CHESTERFIELD. Eighteen Stories -- Absolutely Fireproof, 600 Outside Rooms and Baths, Beautifully Furnished, New York's Newest and Most Luxurious Hotel". And in pencil, it says "Room 703", which I'm guessing is the room he stayed in.
