Hello,

My name is John Wolfe and I'm in Corinth, Texas, USA. As with some others here, I've inherited some postcards from my Grandparents, most which date between 1904 to 1929, with some 1940 to 1960 postcards thrown in.

After looking at this site and some others, most all of them are worthless, except to me from a family history standpoint. That said, there are several, 2 in particular, that I'd like to know more about.

One is what I think is a RPPC, depicting a ship in a harbor, titled on the bottom left, "Shipping at Redondo" (Redondo Beach, California), and on the bottom right is "Photo SUB-POST Card Co., L. A. Trade Mark". I googled "Sub-Post Card Co." and only came up with a couple of pictures at a California university website. I can't seem to find any other information about the company or the picture postcard. Oh, there is absolutely nothing on the back side.

The second is what might be a RPCC, and shows a barge with a lot of people on it being poled across a river. The picture takes up about 4-1/2" of the 5-1/2" width. In the remaining space is some writing in a foreign language. I suspect it might be from Norway, but that's only because I had a G-Grandfather who went back to his native Norway to visit family around 1911. On the back is some more writing which appears to be the conclusion of what's on the front. It has a stamp which has been cancelled and the only thing I can make out is a date of 1912.

So, my questions are: Can I post the scans I made of the cards? Where would be the best place to do so? Is there a size restriction?

Any help anyone can provide would be greatly appreciated.

Respectfully,

John Wolfe
Corinth, Texas
