I actually do this all the time Scott. Years ago my dad found a large collection of used postcards in the basement of a "handyman special" he bought, most from the 30's-40's. I have all the cards sorted out by town, most of them local and if I go to the town I'll bring the postcard with me and put it in the mailbox if I can find the address. Much easier now with GPS. I've gone a little out of my way to deliver on the same date as the postmark before too so the people can say they got it EXACTLY xx years later
