Treasures from Texas Antique Shop

These are some post cards with baby pictures that I found in an Antique Shop in Jacksonville, Texas. They are so precious and I thought I would just scan them and share them with everyone. There were about 15 postcards in a zip sandwich bag, and everything in a big basket was 50% off.

I also found the ICE COUPON book in the same basket. There was no date on the book, but I can remember when I was 4 years old (1945) that the ice man delivered ice to our house and my mother gave him a coupon of some sort for the ice. I wonder if it could be the same kind as she used, we lived in Altus, Oklahoma in a house my Grand Father built (behind the house that my grand parents lived in), for my mother, brother and me to live in while my Dad was gone to War. My Dad was in the Navy.

Feel free to copy these images to use in your art work, I hope you enjoy them. I will be posting some more of the pictures later so check back next week and see what else I found.
