Vintage Real Post Card of 3 Young Boys ? Early Boy Scouts






This is a old real post card that is unused. Back is divided and has no place for the stamp. Bottom center says Leonar 1452.
I do not remember where or when I bought this post card or if it is from the United States or is foreign

The picture is of three young boys. There are a total of three bikes. One is near the boy on the right and the other two are leaning up against the bushes on the right hand side.The boys are dressed in short pants and long socks. Not sure if they are in uniforms of some kind, could be some kind of scout uniforms. The boys on the left are looking at something in the grass or could even be building a camp fire. There may be some bedding on the ground right of the boy on the right hand side .

Great old post card probably has a story of three young men. Would love to hear if anyone has any ideas about this post card.

Vintage Postcard from Dublin Ireland Sackville Street


This is a great vintage postcard of Dublin Ireland that came from a collection I bought at auction. It is dated Nov 18 08 and comes from Virginia Co. Ireland. Must of been sent in an envelope since no post mark and written message covers the whole back side.

Picture is of Sackville Street & O'Connel Bridge Dublin. Great picture with people in the dress of the time. Horses pulling carriages and the Street car advertising View Books.

The building is advertising Vinolia. When I put Vinolia into a Internet search I found out that it was a bath soap company and that they supplied this soap to the first class passengers of the Titanic. You can still buy this soap over the internet and is popular due to the Titanic connection.
Great old post card that is 110 years old.

Funny Postcard with Curvy Woman Sitting by Side of Road


Cute post card I found among some postcards I bought at an auction months ago. This one is postmarked 1954 so over 50 years old.

Young red head lady sitting by the side of the road under a Slow Down sign. I love the nylons, no panty hose but the old stockings that were held with a garter belt.
