Gorgeous scenic postcard. Mountains in the scene. German writing on the back telling about the postcard. Postmarked twice, Beehive mark. Series 631.

100 year old card is in Great condition! The spot that you see in the lower left corner is the plastic sleeve in is reflecting my flash. Card is not bent!

Most of my cards are correspondence between a sister "MD" and her brother, Elwyn Flowers from Chilton Texas.

Great addition to a collection!

Antique Postcard collecting, also known as detiology, is one of the most popular collectible hobbies in America, Canada and Internationally today. There is such history in vintage postcards. They are virtual museums of the past. 100 years ago. How far we have come! Holding an old postcard can evoke memories of the past and can provide glimpses into our social history and our culture of the time periods long past, but still alive in the postcard. Wikipedia Definition of Deltiology: "Deltiology is the study and collection of postcards. Compared to philately, the identification of a postcard's place and time of production can often be an impossible task, due to the fact that postcards, unlike stamps, are produced in a decentralized, unregulated manner. For this reason, serious collectors may choose to limit their acquisitions to cards by specific artists and publishers, or by time and location."

These wonderful 5.5-inch x 3 5/8 inch pieces are also known also as a “penny post card” or a “picture post card,” have been collectibles since their 1890s inception. They are of interest to those interested in antiques and photography as well; the deltiologist, in particular, prizes RPPCs. SIZE-5 3/8inches x 3 3/8 inches Among antique postcards and other scarce paper ephemera you will find in my shop will include some roadside America, vintage real photo or RPPC post cards, Texas towns and topical postcards and even some postcards about postcards! There are some with wonderful artwork from Tuck & Sons, as well as fancy silk postcards and embossed cards that would be beautiful in a frame in your home or given as a gift.
