According to this neat little website, Playle’s, it appears that this postcard was produced circa 1914 to 1917.  The name written on the back is Frances Kersey.  There is no other identifying information. This post was written for the premier issue of A Festival of Postcards carnival.  The theme for this issue is “wheels.”

This was not in my attic.  A few weeks ago, when my cousins came for a visit, I got a neat little present from my aunt.  It’s a box of family photos!  This was a wonderful gift and I can’t wait to go through all of them and get them scanned in so I have digital copies.  Thanks, Aunt Maureen!

Prompt:  Showcase a favorite blog or blogger. This is a great way to share some blog love and introduce readers to new genealogy writers.

The word prompt for the 13th Edition of Smile For The Camera is All Creatures Great And Small. Show us a photograph of the family pet. The pet that made it into every family snapshot. That pampered pet your ancestors took to the photographic studio to immortalize in an expensive photograph. The best friend who was there for your ups and downs. Bring them to the carnival and share with us how they were loved through the ages. Admission is free with every photograph!

Aren’t they cute?  Twins perhaps?  There is no identifying information unfortunately.  The imprint reads McCormick, Quincy, Ill.
