A few vintage motel postcards

 

I love the old Motel postcards, yours are fabulous Joe

 

Acquired 40 vintage postcards today at the coin & stamp show.

 

Picked this up a couple of months ago. Postmarked 1917. The letter appears to be from a soldier to his mother. Too bad some of the text is ripped off.

 

With the Post Card I just posted, can anyone tell what it says at the bottom right before “First Degree” - and also if you can make out the name

 

I wonder if it says "News the First Degree" -- perhaps a different way of saying "firsthand" back then.

 

They are not really vintage, but very important for me as they come from the person which educate me with my mother until I was 16 years old, I inheritate from her a lot of material and spiritual things, she was leaving during the end of the czars era and was an active feminist(suffragette), it's the first time I put them on the web, they were just used by a student for her thesis(?) about Swiss people working outside the country in the 19th, some are original drawings, the boat is a colorized one.

 

circus guy?

 

Yes, rubber man if I make the good translation?

 

looked it up

 

I think more likely a "thin man" -- though not one I could find quickly.

 

Not circus. Side show or freak show.

yes what i got when i looked it up

 

Spent an hour or so last night looking through all of yours here - I wasn't 'on' though but I definitely Like them all!! And I have some to add. Here are the old 'linen' ones.
Most don't have writing on the back, or minimal, but if you want to see, let me know as I scanned those also. Denver's card was a good exception. Looks like Sid was going cross country! It was his 'ears' I think, bothering him.

 

And here are the others I thought you might like to see. I'm not sure about posting the Jackalope, as that "myth" actually comes from an anomaly that rabbits get - small bumps on their foreheads. I've seen this on rabbits that run around the neighborhood here and often find little ones that didn't make it. I don't know what causes it, if it's mostly fatal or not. Anyway, nobody else posted a Jackalope, so I guess it's up to me?
