The Nickel Guy Posted Monday at 11:04 PM Report Share Posted Monday at 11:04 PM I bought this postcard for a couple bucks I suppose maybe 25 or 30 years ago in an antique store and I put it in this art deco frame I already had that once held a picture of a famous actor named Robert Taylor. The frame has a hinged backdoor and I thought I'll take a peek and see who and where did this get mailed and when. So the back reads. From Ellen Owen to Miss Bertha Buttles in Ricketts PA. Ricketts PA is a ghost town. There is a State Park nearby named Ricketts Glen near where that town once existed between Williamsport and Wilkes Barre. This was delivered around April 1, 1907. I'd hate to be a post office employee trying to figure out this chicken scratch. I can't make out the town New whatever PA it is from. I am glad it made it's way to me. I have it right in with my framed cats eyes marbles now. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steph Posted Tuesday at 05:10 AM Report Share Posted Tuesday at 05:10 AM Sweet card. Ella Owen must have believed Miss Bertha to be fond of marbles. The top postmark could be from New Albany, but that doesn't match up with handwritten return address. ? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Nickel Guy Posted Tuesday at 03:18 PM Author Report Share Posted Tuesday at 03:18 PM I agree, Ella could have been traveling and sent the card from New Albany. Thanks for your post Steph. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
