Description:

Hi, For this swap you will send 3 linen postcards to your partner.

These should be unused and in very good or better condition.

Here is a description of linen postcards I found on the internet.

Linen Era (1930-1945 (1960?)) New American printing processes allowed printing on postcards with a high rag content. The rag content also gave these postcards a textured "feel" of linen fabric. They were also cheaper to produce and allowed the use of bright dyes for image coloring. Linen postcards document every step along the way of the building of America's highway infra-structure. Most notable among the early linen publishers was the firm of Curt Teich. The majority of linen postcard production ended around 1939 with the advent of the color "chrome" postcard. However, a few linen firms (mainly southern) published until well into the late 50s.

You can find these postcards at postcards shows, many antique stores or malls. And on ebay. Grandma probably has some. :)

I will try to check for comments, but if you have a question, please email me.

Enjoy the day!

Hi,

These are general linen postcards. You would send three different linen postcards to two partners. They do not have to be sets.

Three linen postcards can be sent for one stamp. That is why I chose that number. I will think about doing a two card swap for the future.

Enjoy the day! Demaris

Hi, Sorry I am in the hospital with my husband who has just been diagnosed with cancer. I extended the send date. I hope you are all well. Enjoy the day! Demaris
