Default Photo ID help - is this vintage?

Posted By: Frank Wakefield

This is mainly a gut feeling about the image you've posted, it looks like it is not from the late 1800s or the turn of the century, but is a card from more recent times, maybe the late 1950s or 1960s. The edges and corners don't look like what I'd expect from a pre 1900 piece. Have you illuminated it with black light? What is on the back? That information would help.

Have you compared the cardboard it is on to cardboard of other postcards that are from the same time that relates to the image?

Wish you well with it. Frank.
