Picture
 ​Barb Lokke shared more than 550 postcards of Omaha from her extensive collection at the January meeting! Her presentation also included a history of postcard collecting.  If you are not a collector of post cards you may not know the following fun facts:
 
Picture postcards first appeared in Austria as an alternative to formal stationary. Writing messages on the side designated for the address was unlawful until 1907.  People wrote messages over the pictures.  Pre-1898 the government produced “postcards.”   Private companies were required to market their cards as souvenir cards, mail cards, or correspondence cards.  Postage was 2 cents.  J.C. Hall, postcard collector and creator of Hallmark Cards, was born in David City. By the end of 1907 post card collecting was the biggest collectible hobby in the world.  Halloween postcards are very collectible and may sell for $35 - $80 in today’s market.  Postcards featuring buildings now razed are an important record of architectural history.  Each antique sale and show is certain to have several postcard dealers.  This treasured picture brings memories of a Quester field trip and Quester friendships, both dating to the late 1990s.
