I’m really wondering about the text on the back of this card. I can’t tell what it is promoting. The title claims this is Bruce Minard a gold prospector in Red Hill, Mojave, California.

“NICE UNUSED STANDARD-SIZE CHROME POSTCARD……..1950s/60s ERA……IN EXCELLENT CONDITION.”

1950s Real Photo Postcard near Atlanta, Idaho on eBay

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

This RPPC or Real Photo Postcard was taken near Atlanta, Idaho. Though I wanted to check out Atlanta, I never made it while I lived in Idaho. It’s lodged in the remote hills north east of Boise. Founded in 1855, it still has a post office. It seems it had some other claim to fame, but that bit of trivia escapes me at the moment. You can learn more here.

Here are some neat photos of buildings in the tiny town from Flickr
