vintage postcard
Old illustrated mailer
A vintage postcard is a postcard from an earlier era, typically at least several decades old, often collected for historical interest, artistic design, or nostalgia.
The term usually refers to cards from the late 19th through mid-20th century, when postcards were a primary means of casual correspondence: She found a vintage postcard of the old boardwalk at an antique shop.
Collectors prize them for their glimpses of bygone landscapes, fashions, and printing styles.
