A vintage photograph of a jewelry store interior from Cadiz, Ohio, taken in 1926. The label on the back reads: "from R. H. Black, Jeweler Box 102 Cadiz, Ohio (written in pen) John M Ramsey Raymond H Black May 1st 1926"

An uncommon configuration, this antique tri-fold postcard features a nice, sharp pivoting panoramic view of Eagle Grove, Iowa, circa 1912. Eagle Grove is just down the road from Thor (seriously!) in Wright County, in rural north central Iowa. From this view, it seems like Eagle Grove had all the makings of a burgeoning, medium-sized city, but its recent population has hovered around a quaint 3400.

Vintage postcard view of south Main Street in Minot, North Dakota - circa 1940's.

It appears the town fathers followed the more western method of platting and laying out a town, as there's certainly room enough here for a wagon to turn around! Antique postcard view of south Main Street in Fort Atkinson, Wisconsin - circa 1910's.

Antique postcard view of Main Street through Aberdeen, South Dakota - circa 1920's. p.s. I want that Schlitz sign!!

Vintage linen postcard view of Oak Street in downtown Mt. Carmel, Pennsylvania - circa 1940's. Do I want to wander into that old J.C. Penney store on the left and gape at all the 1940's merchanise? Darn tootin!

Vintage linen postcard view of Sharon, Pennsylvania by night - circa 1943. With vintage postcards like this, I get to travel around the country and, more importantly, back in time for only a buck or two. I can just imagine the leisurely stroll down almost any main street in America, window gazing at all the nicely-appointed displays, the soft hues of neon light falling upon me as I listen for a big-band standard faintly emanating out of some late-night joint that warrants investigation...

Vintage postcard view of downtown Port Allegany, Pennsylvania, on old U.S. Route 6 through the Seneca Highlands - circa 1960's.

A wonderful array of old signage is on full display in this vintage postcard view of Deadwood, South Dakota - late 1950's.

Vintage postcard view of Montello, Wisconsin - "A friendly resort city of 1100 people. Ample resort accommodations available nearby, with best of fishing and boating on the many lakes in the area." Circa late 1960's.
