Cincinnati Postcards from the collection of my Grandma,
Tillie Egbers Kirk (1912-1989)
If you click on the image, the slideshow will open larger. I have provided the best image I can for you, and if there is a message written on the back, it will be the card directly to the right. Below each set of cards, I will have a description of each and anything printed on the back by the manufacturer. I have three photo albums full of postcards. I will continue to add more each week until I get them all loaded.
