Fort Warren, WY, Postcard on eBay

• CATEGORIES: Features, Postcards This site contains affiliate links for which I may be compensated.

Here’s a postcard I hadn’t seen that Marc spotted.

“Postcard Era: Linen (primarily 1930’s & 1940’s)
Publisher: E.C. Kropp #27227N
Mailed: No
Condition: Good, with light edge wear and some foxing on the reverse. Please scans of both front and back of the card.

The “linen card” era lasted from about 1931 through the 1940’s, when new printing processes allowed printing on postcards made with a high rag content that created a linen-like finish. Postcards published in this era, with views of a particular city, town or tourist attraction inside large letters that spell out the name of the location, are called Large Letter Linens.”
