*** Pictures show the ACTUAL CARD you will receive. ***
-- This listing is for one (1) Vintage Lake Itaska from Douglas Lodge Minnesota RPPC Itasca Postcard - Unposted. Front of card has \"Lake Itaska From Douglas Lodge - Itaska State Park, Minn. - c985\" hand written as part of the photo image. Back of the card has the text \" The Co-Mo Company, Post Cards, Minneapolis\"
-- Card is blank -- no handwriting, messages, or postmarks of any kind. There is a \'sheen\' (for lack of a better word) around the edge of the photo front of the card, though not as obviously always visible as the photos make it seem -- I just wanted to be sure to show it was there and therefore angled the photos/card to make sure it showed up. Card otherwise has minimal marks and corner/edge wear, and seems in really good condition for its age.
-- Postcard comes from the collection of the elderly couple that lived next door to my grandparents. When that couple moved to a small apartment in their later years, they needed to downsize their various collections and gifted my grandparents their large postcard collection, with cards starting around 1900 and continuing for decades. Some cards are most likely ones they collected themselves (unposted, no writing), along with cards they received from friends who traveled extensively around the U.S. and the globe (handwritten notes, usually posted).-- We do not have the knowledge to grade any of our postcards -- please use your own collecting expertise along with our description and careful review/magnification of all pictures to best judge the card\'s condition.
