"Orlando, Fla Jan 29- Dear Wife, This morning we were out in a big orange grove and had all the oranges we wanted to eat but they were not very good. Last night we had a big storm and today it is pretty cold, it is 58 that is the coldest it has been. They are wearing over coats today. I tell you dear I guess I will close. Good Bye dear, when you write write to H. M. Dyer Jacksonville General Delivery, Fla." . Grape Fruit Grove, Florida .

Sperm Whales on the Beach, New Smyrna, FL 🐳 . Postmarked April 6, 1909 from Lantana, Florida . The school of nine young sperm whales mysteriously came ashore; four were alive for several hours after they were found. The whale in front shows eye at top, blow pipe at left near sand, mouth to right. The large whale to right has been cut severely by sharks. The men are preparing to cut and boil the blubber and extract the pure spermaceti oil from the head cavities. Over 2,000 gals were extracted. Dimensions 7 feet by 8 feet by 40 feet. . Message on the back reads "Am very busy nowadays. Shipped our first solid car of tomatoes last Thursday. Expect to get out three this week. So you can see it's nothing but work all the time but that will soon be over." . . . #antiquepostcard #oldpostcard #oldflorida #redtide #bluegreenalgae #cyanobacteria #newsmyrnabeach #spacecoast #daytonabeach #1900s #postcardsfromtheworld #fbf #picoftheday #fwc #spermwhale #deadwhale #algaebloom #kareniabrevis #fishkill #floridabeaches #historicflorida #floridapostcard #vintagecollection #ephemera #vintagephoto #oldphoto #lantana #wpb #sebastianinlet (at New Smyrna Beach, Florida) https://www.instagram.com/p/BpHdWfsg-1F/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1jsw3e2nf1xxq

Our Postcards

Long gone are the days of the Golden Age of Postcards! The days when old fashioned newsstands, street vendors, and souvenir shops commonly exchanged printed goods for spare change. The times when you could simply reach into the wool lining of your coat pocket, uncover a shiny nickel, and exchange it for three freshly printed postcards of your choice. While those days are behind us, the nostalgic yearn for historic snapshots, lithography, and the artistic décor emblematic of those times still tugs at our heartstrings. In our shop, you will still find many of these vintage postcards in all sorts and varieties. Some of them will even be in the pristine shape with which they were once displayed. Think of us as an online postcard kiosk, where long-treasured memories of an era gone by, are still very much alive!
