Lightbulbs must have seemed like alchemy when they first appeared. Tiny devil men with hammers were every early lightbulb user's greatest fear!

W.W. I Edith Cavell Propaganda Series
- byPostcardCollector on2nd September, 2010 in• Military
-
World War I British published, from Edith Cavell propaganda series, artist signed T. Corbella.
Edith Louisa Cavell (1865 – 1915) was a British nurse and humanitarian. She is celebrated for helping some 200 Allied soldiers escape from German-occupied Belgium during World War I, for which she was executed. This led to worldwide sympathetic press coverage of her.

Postcrossing Evangelism is HERE
- bybenjclark on26th August, 2010 inHobby News
-
Rec'd delivery of 100 of these postcards. Got them on the cheap so they aren't trimmed very well- some have white showing at one edge or another. Also slightly odd dimensions, 5 5/8" x 4 1/4". I'll happily mail one to you gratis if you whisper your address to me here. If you'd like more than one they're 3/$1 + 1st class postage. I can do PayPal, or whatever you'd like.
This was a learning process for me-- I've never done a postcard on my own before. If all goes well, I'll probably do...

- byj5i8m on25th August, 2010 in• Artist Signed
-
Among the most attractive cards ever produced were the eight series of cards that Samuel Schmucker did for The Detroit Publishing Company. I'd like to share them with this group. The first two series are the Drink set and the Smoke set.
The captions on the Drink set are Champagne, Claret, Crème-de-Menthe, Manhattan,
Martini, and Sherry.
The captions on the smoke set are Clarice, Laughing Waters, Lucinda, Molly,
Maude Miller, and Virginia.

Tribute to Chicago, Burlington, & Quincy Railroad
- bypostcardy on25th August, 2010 in• Transportation
-
The Chicago, Burlington, & Quincy railroad is my favorite railroad because their tracks passed a few blocks from where I grew up. I used to love watching and riding both the commuter and Zephyr trains.
Much of the history of the CB&Q railroad can be found on postcards. The postcards issued by the railroad are marked on the back with "Burlington Route" logos.

Water Towers on Postcards
- bypostcardy on22nd August, 2010 in• Views
-
The Brainerd Water Tower has been called "Paul Bunyan's Cup" or "Paul Bunyan's Flashlight." It was built from 1919 to 1922, and was the first all-concrete elevated tank used by a municipality in the United States. It was replaced in 1960 but is still standing.
--------------------
The Sulphur Springs Water Tower was built in 1927. It was operated as a private water company piping artesian well water to customers in the immediate vicinity until 1971 when the City of Tampa forced them to stop water piping operations. After operating as a drive-in theater, the tower was restored in 1989. The City of...

Novelty Handstitched Postcards from Spain
- bypostcardy on17th August, 2010 in• Novelty
-
These are a type of novelty postcard. They seem to be a specialty of Spain. I think they have been made for a long time, but I don't know how long. I don't know the age of the ones I have. The first two have just thread on the costume. The last one also has a ruffle for the skirt. Mine don't have any descriptions on the back.

Arthur Thiele Signed Fantasy Monkeys
- byPostcardCollector on14th August, 2010 in• Artist Signed
-
Though Arthur Thiele is mostly known for his fantasy cats, he did quite a few other animals as well. This fantasy monkey set is one of my favorites. I love the monkeys all dressed up in their finery. I guess the two on the outsides are chimpanzees, so not technically monkeys. But "fantasy monkeys" sounds better than "fantasy great apes and monkeys".
