| We have no info on the artist or vintage of this card. We guess the publication to be 1940s or 50s. |
In December, 2014, we featured a different old card about Buffalo Bill which you can see here.
Thank you for stopping by John's Island.
Update for a few recent photos from the neighborhood ...

| Olympic Mountain Range in the distance. We liked the way the haze and angle of the sun's rays brought out the various layers of mountains. Late evening June 20. |

ReplyDeleteA terrific postcard and a wonderful look back!! I do love to ride the ferry, too!! Hope you have a great weekend!!

I love those sun rays.Someday,I would like to board one of those ships and go on a cruise.
ReplyDeleteWow! And to think we worry about rain, sleet, snow or dead of night these days. Bang!
ReplyDeleteYour neighborhood keeps changing. It puts a show on for you all day.
ReplyDeleteLovely postcard and beautiful photos. :)
ReplyDeleteYou certainly live in an interesting neighbourhood, ever changing. I think I've seen that picture of Buffalo Bill somewhere before, way back in time when I was a little younger. I was a real cowboy fan back in the day.

I cannot imagine the dangers that face the pony express riders!
ReplyDeleteI bet some people did not get there post, especially the unfortunate post carries who could not out ride the Indians!!
ReplyDeleteYes, times have changed for the postal workers. I don't think that guy is carrying any junk mail. :-)
ReplyDeleteBeautiful postcard and great images, very nice the Olympic Mountain Range picture.
ReplyDeleteHappy Sunday!
Love that postcard!! And (from previous post) congrats on your Liebster award! Very cool!!
ReplyDeleteInteresting!
ReplyDeleteAh! Great post card! I loved reading about the Pony Express riders as I was growing up! There are so many good stories about various ones, and they did have a tough time of it! It was not a job for the faint-hearted, but they got the mail through.
