A sometimes rambling blog about my postcard collection, Mostly vintage, some new, a bunch of linens with a touch of chrome.

Weighing a Baby Orang - New York Zoological Park
This organization is more commonly referred to as the Bronx Zoo which opened in 1899. They published a great many postcards of zoo animals through a variety of printers. The Rotogravure Company printed a fine collotype card set for them in black & white and with color tints though their name does not appear on these cards. The Detroit Publishing Company also produced sets for them.
Kenneth Wright - Commercial Art
The General Chef
Ran across another advertising RPPC. Costing around $259.00 in 1951 this little space-saver may be the strangest "major" kitchen appliance I've ever seen. Found one online today for $250!
