1954 Postal Card Tax Note Jamaica NY Queens 2ct Franklin Pre-ZIP 24 Riccio For Sale

30 PM. The card was addressed to the Bureau of City Collection, Tax Office, in Kew Gardens 24, New York. The postal zone \"24\" reflects the numbering system used in larger American cities between 1943 and 1963, prior to the introduction of ZIP codes. The two-cent postage rate was standard for postcards during this period. The printed card stock exhibits a cream-to-yellowish tonality consistent with mid-century paper aging, and the postmark remains clear and legible across the circular cancellation.The verso is densely annotated in multiple ink colors—black, blue, red, and a faded brown-grey—documenting property tax correspondence. The top section, rendered in block letters, identifies the property as located at 97-15 Sanders Place, Jamaica 35, N.Y., and names Rose G. Riccio as the party of record. The notation \"SEC Block 44 10011 LOT 37 CODE 7\" provides a legal description referencing section, block, and lot numbers typical of Queens County property records. The year 1952 appears crossed out, with 1954 written beside it, indicating a correction or update to the file. A handwritten message in cursive reads, \"Kindly mail me tax bill as yet have not receive any,\" and is directed to the Tax Office. Additional annotations include the dates 9/22/54 and 9/30/54, the words \"Marked\" and \"Bill\" in blue and faded ink respectively, the number \"24-05,\" and the red-ink notations \"3\" and \"f/h.\" The card shows minor edge wear at the top left corner but no significant creases or tears. The combination of postal stationery, municipal tax correspondence, and multi-annotated verso renders this a compelling artifact of mid-twentieth-century Queens County property administration and pre-ZIP code mail routing.
