artiFACT Postcard Postcard

Postcard

Estimated value: $6-$14

This is a linen-era postcard (1930s–1940s) depicting an aerial view of the U.S. Naval Academy in Annapolis, Maryland. The postmark reads Annapolis, MD, September 4 [194x]. The 1-cent green stamp and 'POST PAID' machine frank suggest wartime postal economy. The message, written in a rushed cursive, references early morning work duties and possibly transportation concerns — consistent with the regimented daily life of someone stationed at or working near the Naval Academy during World War II. The card was published by Geo. J. Davis, Annapolis, MD, and printed by Tichnor Bros., Boston, Mass.
