The Postmark date on that Ebay example you are referring to means NOTHING !

Back in the 1940's and 1950's, us old-timers would frequently mail vintage Post Cards to one another.

The picture on that example (and my P/C) show the old Factory #33 Water Towers. Subsequent Water
Towers (> 1916) were modernized and display the Lucky Strike cigarette logo on them.

Look, I'm a vintage Post Card collector, and the style of printing and the texture of the cardboard on this P/C is an early 20th Century vintage product.
