Step back to June 1916 with this charming postal stationery postcard from Conshohocken, Pennsylvania. The handwritten message reveals a slice of everyday life: a simple order from H.B. Gray requesting 5 pounds of black walnuts and 5 pounds of almonds without shells, sent to David Doug Dengler & Sons in Philadelphia. This glimpse into early 20th-century commerce carries the warmth and directness of a time when mail was the lifeline for personal and business connections.
The card’s address side is stamped with a crisp 1-cent prepaid indicium featuring Thomas Jefferson, part of the official U.S. postal stationery series that made mailing quick and easy. Postmarked June 29, 1916, this card perfectly captures the elegance and practicality of communication over a century ago.
This postcard would look great framed or make an excellent addition to any collection.
