I recently stumbled upon folding postcard booklets. They are vintage and I believe from the 1940s. I found them at a local antique store and thought they were pretty neat. They fold closed like an envelope. Each booklet contains a few paragraphs about the region and 18 different scenes. (Nine photos, front and back). I thought I would share what they looked like! I am new to post crossing and have never seen anything like these before. They are beautiful and are mostly in good condition. I will upload some photos! Just wanted to share my excitement with you all.
Thanks everyone. I don’t know what I’ll do with them yet. Thinking about sending it to someone I get matched with. Hopefully someone has written in their bios that they love vintage postcards or scenic views lol. I’ll hold onto them until the right one(s) comes along!
@loving6thgrade That is fun to hear! I noticed on some of them there are check marks or little memos on whether or not they saw that particular place in the fold out. Super neat to get a small glimpse into the past and imagine what their vacation was like.
It’s incredible! You are very lucky! I am a huge history and vintage lover, and would be very happy if you decide to exchange these wonderful postcards in a direct exchange. Thanks for sharing, it’s a wonderful story!
Oh, how wonderful! I remember postcard booklets like that from when I was little. And I found a modern one in Paris before the pandemic. Never thought it would be something to send in Postcrossing., but now I’ve changed my mind.
