Among the gems I found were these postcards of flowers.
They are really old, with the postmarks saying 1912.
Look at the price of what they bought.
Now those were the good old days.
Visit Coloradolady to see what other vintage thingies you might find

I dig in boxes and look at these cards each time out at garage or antique places. I refrain from buying most of the time. I really like what you found.

I like to buy pretty birthday postcards with flowers. They are not as expensive as other postcards because most collectors don’t want them.

Your postcards are beautiful. They are really pretty and delicate. I love the 1912 postage mark, that is really neat.

Beauitful postcards- I am always amazed at the detail people used to put into imagery and advertising. So much more than today with all the photoshopping and cut/paste, nothing is done by skilled artisans anymore. These are just lovely!

I am a collector of postcards, Vintage cards. And what a great collection you have found. Most amazing people don’t like to keep these things. They would make a beautiful collage hanging. Great blog and gardens also.
