That would fit better for the postdated one= with the white border, I thought a few were earlier, but the postdate tr= icked me. In the United States, most postcards produced during this peri= od were the airbrushed linen postcards and it would be almost until the l= ate 1940's before the photo postcards were common. And another 10 years = before the Kodak color postcards, photo postcards of any quality were pro= duced. In meteorite postcards, Frasher's made Meteor Crater postcards wi= th nice photos...but a much less quality of postcard then the Estonia car= ds around and after 1950. Strange that US postcard producers were so far= behind the European counterparts.
