My Harvard PC
Grabbed this at an antique shop this summer and have it in a frame in my office. Sorry for the bad pics, but I didn't want to mess with taking it out of the frame. I sometimes use these clear see-thru frames for post cards because then you can read the back fairly easily.
I think I paid $8 for this, then a couple bucks for the frame.
The front of the card reads, "January 5, '06" at the top, then "With love from Helen" at the bottom.
The interesting part, at least for me, is that the card was sent from Hoboken NJ and is postmarked "Jan 6, 1906 AM". It also has a received postmark that is probably hard to read in the picture, but it states "Long Branch N.J. Jan 6 1-30P 1906".
So she sent it the PC in the morning and they had it by 1:30 in the afternoon. The mail service just ain't what it used to be!
(I'm just kidding, of course, and mean no disrepect to any mail carriers in our group)
