The postcard was postmarked in October of 1912 in Silver Creek, the village in the town of Hamlet, New York, and then sent to the hamlet of Irving-- all within Chautauqua County, New York.

PLEASE review the scans carefully and then buy confidently.

For the buyer, I'll send your postcard free of charge with standard shipping within the United States.

I collect, trade, and sell postcards because it's interesting and fun. 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.
