The Blimp Cyclist - Gold
Code: TheBlimpCyclistGold
$0.00
I adore this card, and this 'gold' version is very similar to the way it looks now. This is the only image chosen for our November/December 2004 advertisement in Metropolitan Home magazine. Phenomenal graphics. Even though I'm a terrific purist, I couldn't decide which version I like better. I'll even crop out the caption if you ask me to, but you have to ask. This is what makes postcard collecting so worthwhile.

Smiling Cyclists
Code: SmilingCyclists
$0.00
I love this terrific image - I think it's Japanese - of a pair of Smiling Cyclists. There's a postmark, but I can't read it because it's in Japanese, but I believe this is circa 1909 or so. Great gold background, large sun (could be a moon...), and calligraphy. Wonderful colors - just look at those magenta pants! I thought that those were stylized mountains in the back ground, but now I'm not so sure. Great details on the bikes, and great little flip flops on their feet. How the front fellow manages to bike and fan himself at the same time is beyond me. If anyone would be so kind and translate this calligraphy it'd be fun to know what it says.

Somerset Superfine Shoes
Code: SomersetSuperfineShoes
$0.00
One of the best linen advertising cards I've ever seen. Vertical linen advertising card promoting Somerset Superfine Shoes for Men, postmarked 1948, this card just hits on all cylinders. The way the background color 'glows' at the center of the image, the interesting font on "Somerset", the handsome brown shoes, the young man cheering in front of a bench flanked by two football players... This is one handsome image.

Slim Jim Bow Ties
Code: SlimJim
$0.00
I have to say that this is pretty much my favorite linen of all time - I saw it, I loved it, and I had to have it. Wow! Circa 1939, this advertising image simply hits on all cylinders. Fabulous graphics, colors, content, even humor - it's wonderful! There's the ruddy-cheeked, debonair bon vivant, with his slicked back jet black hair and mustache, wearing a "Slim Jim" bow tie out at the race track. The bow ties are cute, and gosh, at 35 and 50 cents each they sound very reasonably priced. I love the way the rainbow-shaped colors radiate out of the lower right, changing from blue, to green, to yellow. The little touches of red are perfect. I have this in a 20x32 canvas on the wall in my office, and now I wish I'd done it bigger. This is very special.
