Featured Antique RPPC Postcard: Busy Times At The 5 & 10 Store

EDIT: Figtree3 already posted this information while I was slowly typing...

Wikipedia is often wrong, but they show 1¢ as having been the correct rate for a postcard from 1898 until the war pushed prices up temporarily from November 1917. So OP's card would appear to have the correct amount of postage for 1912.

Always have a blast when I'm talking about old things. Thank you very much. Something else to think about possibly is the fact that the divided postcards weren't put out until 1907 I think is correct. That's a divided postcard so it would be between 1907 and 1915 perhaps? My source for that is off the top of my head. Haha. Good stuff

 

If you haven't found it already... Here's a great resource for identifying and dating post cards.

Graniteware was in mid 1800's could that be what was on sale?
