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.”

Wish we could see more of the jeep. The Jockey Ridge Sand Dunes show here are the tallest sand dune system in the Eastern US. This area is now Jockey Ridge State Park. I’m guessin that driving over the sand dunes like the jeep below isn’t possible anymore?
