Chuck's Antique Postcard Collection

I tried to utilize my "off time" on the road touring with Kilimanjaro and Paul Butterfield by visiting antique shops and other places around the country that had old postcards. Many of the cards in this sampling of my personal collection may have little or no commercial value to a "professional" collector, but I feel that they say volumes about our culture and our sometimes peculiar behavior as human beings. The cards in my collection that are truly collectible are one's that pinpoint a particular period of history in our culture. For that reason, I have included some disturbing, as well as some beautiful images that I have collected of Blacks in America at a time in American history that I'm sure many would like to forget.
I hope that you enjoy this sampling of my collection.
