Post Card Saturday!


Look! Post Card Saturday, and it's still Saturday! Woot!

This is probably one of the oldest in my collection. I haven't cataloged them all (should I do that, do you think?) but this is the oldest I remember seeing. Yep, look at that date - 1903! How's them apples for ya'? 

And you can see the message is on the front. But here's the full back first where it says that one side may be used for communication but in the British Isles only! How funny is that?! lol. 

Just the address across the whole thing. No zip code, but it does have a country this time, lol. And the post mark over the stamp says '03, so that's something. Man... even older than I am, ha!

The message, short and sweet.

Manchester - Eng.
Dec 2- 1903

Dear Mabel,
I am so cold this morning I cannot talk to you so I am writing a letter (as usual)
Love to all - L.

Since this was coming to the USA, clearly it's not the British Isles and the communication had to go on the front, hahahaha! I wonder if they would have held the card if she'd written on the back...

Hope you enjoyed!

:)
