Antique Shop Cards

These are all from various antique shops I've visited.

"White birches frame a view of a typical New England scene. Here, where majestic mountains meet the sky, and quiet waters wash lazily against the shore, one finds contentment and relaxation".

All the following cards have no caption or writing on the backs:

Flea Market Cards & New Hampshire

This one if from Asbury Park, N.J. and it's postmarked from Sept. 17, 1951.

This one is from the Whitter Hotel Court -- 1625 S. Federal Highway, Fort Lauderdale, Florida. AAA Recommended. On U.S. 1, one mile south of Fort Lauderdale Bridge. Modern, well equipped units, heated and with tiled shower baths. Reduced summer rates. Close to restaurants and business section. Postmarked October 1950. I checked to see if the hotel still exists, but I couldn't find it.

This one is of "Royal Poinciana Tree Amidst Majestic Royal Palms, Florida". Postmarked May 7th, 1955.

"Morning twilight from the summit of Mount Washington"

"Weirs Beach Around the Turn of the Century". You can really see the similarities compared to how it looks now!

"Common Loon -Known for its mournful yodel sound and sometimes calls during the night. They are expert divers and dive to a depth of 200ft". I absolutely love loons :)

"New Hampshire's Autumn Foliage attracts travelers from across the United States and Canada".

Found at my Uncles House & a Few Berlin Postcards

This postcard was sent from my Grandpa to my Great Grandparents. He was serving in the Navy during World War Two and had two days off, so they went to Georgia. It's postmarked from Savannah Beach, July 21 1945.

This was written to my Great Uncle from a local radio talk show host. His show was "The Bob Steele Show" on WTIC Radio (in Connecticut). Apparently he mentioned my Uncle & his "kids" (which were his baby goats) on his show. This was written in 1975.

This one has no writing or caption on the back. I have no idea who the men on the front are.

This has a Navy Sailor on the front. It is addressed to someone who's name I don't recognize, but it was never mailed and no message was written on it.

This is a postcard from my hometown. They were selling these at our town fair this year. It is celebrating the 100th anniversary of the Berlin Railroad Station. It was built in 1900, so the 100th year anniversary was actually 10 years ago. As you can see, the back has a special postmark and railroad stamp.

Here is another postcard from my hometown. I bought this one at our town fair as well. It's celebrating the 225th anniversary of the incorporation of the town, 1785-2010. The front has a few photos of places around town. One the back there is a special postmark as well. The caption on the back says, "The 'Yankee Peddler' originated with the manufacture of tinware in Berlin, CT. This industry was the catalyst for other businesses on the three main streets of Berlin. Shown counterclockwise: Worthington Ridge (formerly Main St), Berlin; East Berlin; and Kensington".
