Happy New Year!

The cat made me think it looks more like a Halloween...

but it's the only card HNY's card I could find!

Merry Christmas!

A couple of different Christmas themed postcards. The "Hollywood Christmas Snow" is an advertising card from the 50's while the Macy's Santa card (40's photo?) is a Fotofolio postcard published the 80's. 

The Denver Zephyrs

The Denver Zephyrs of 1936 boasted a 12-car length and were pulled by a twin-unit shovel-nose power car. They featured mahogany paneling in the lounge, hall, and dining areas, and technical innovations included a blue "night light" setting for sleeping car reading lamps and 110 volt outlets for electric shavers in the dressing-rooms. I love these trains!

This Is The Place for Me

Postmarked 1913, the card has a trademark TB in a circle. Could be an early Tichnor Brothers who began publishing  in 1912. Seven years later, the 18th Amendment was ratified, no doubt because of folks like this!

"We Bathe The World"

"A Part of what goes on within the Famous Hot Springs Bath Houses"...I'm not really sure what IS going on here, but I think this is one strange postcard. Makes me think more of an asylum that a spa. The backs has the saying, "We Bathe The World"

"Monkey" Business

Two linens showing Chimpanzees performing at there respective zoos. 

The 2 at the piano remind me of an old photo of the Gershwins!

On a more "serious" note, the chimp below gets his nails done.

Air Liner is Flying City

From the 1933 exposition in Chicago, "A Century of Progress" comes two postcards of a Boeing Wasp-Powered airplane for United Airlines. I love the cut-away graphics of the plane in this card.
