Linen Postcard

1932

This postcard was sent to Mrs. J. H. NEAL of Meridian, Mississippi. Unfortunately, I cannot read the signature of the sender, because the message is written in a very light pencil.  The sender wrote:

And that's all I could read!

It was postmarked at Monticello on September 6, 1932. The name of the publisher too faded to read.

According to Mashburn's The Postcard Price Guide, A Comprehensive Reference,  the Linen Era postcards were produced between 1930-1945. The paper has a linen-like texture, which gives this type of card a distinctive appearance.
