Postmarks
A colorful card containing artwork from Netherlands. Those Dutch have the coolest cards.
This is a picture of a oyster shell house. It is beautiful…but not very common these days, so the postcrossing sender says.
Ooo, another Finnish postcard. This one relates to the Finnish culture.
A beautiful card from Finland. Plus, the stamp has a finnish flag!
At first look, I thought this was a printed card – then I realized that it was homemade. Now, some on the PostCrossing world wouldn’t like this style of postcard…but it is quite interesting.

This postcard has an interesting stamp. One from just before World War II which states Industry – Agriculture FOR DEFENSE. As you can see, the postcard was mailed prior to the attack on Pearl Harbor and the US entry into World War II.
It is addressed to Miss Lorraine Stilling who lives in McHenry Illinois.

Love,
Gwen, John, & Ann?

All my love + many kisses to my dear son. Hope your hip is getting better.
Your loving Papa.
Makes me wonder what happened to the poor young lad. You will remember that Master addresses young men under the age of 13!
