This real photo postcard (RPPC) shows American film and television actress, Barbara Britton (1920-1980). According to Wikipedia, she was best known for her western film roles starring opposite major actors such as Randolph Scott, Joel McCrea, and Gene Autry.

This postcard has some obvious wear, including a tear that's about 1-inch in length and located on the front right hand edge near the bottom. Look closely and you can see where there are pinholes through the postcard-- suggesting that it used to be tacked to an admirer's wall-- and it looks to me as if there may be evidence of dried glue on the backside. Please review the scans with care and then buy with confidence.

PLEASE review the scans carefully and then buy confidently.


For the buyer of this postcard, I'll send your postcard free of charge with standard shipping within the United States. If you want certified mail services (includes tracking), however, you can add $3.00 to your purchase and then I'll be happy to arrange that for you-- just please send me a message and alert me to your wish for this arrangement.

I collect, trade, and sell postcards because it's interesting and fun (thankfully, it's not my "get rich quick" scheme). If I'm selling a postcard that you'd like to own but you perceive that my asking price is just too high for your taste or budget, then make an offer or contact me and let's see if we can make a deal. I like it best when everybody gets what they want  :)

Thanks for considering this keepsake.
