Penny Postcards?

What did your town look like according to Penny Postcards?

Check out your old stomping grounds during the times of the penny postcard. The price was raised to 2 cents on January 1,1952.

Click on the state and then on the County name to see old penny postcards from that area...pretty neat.

Funny you should say that. I just this week scanned a bunch of penny postcards of my local area and created an online album. Obviously, you can crop and zoom the cards which is a plus. I have cards from all over the country that belonged to my grandmother. I'm hoping to add more from this area. I was amazed how many cards are available on ebay with prices ranging from .30 cents to $45.
