No postcards were sent thru the mail before 1906 so your
postcard has to be  1906 or after.

  This list has never let me down yet. The Old Brutus Historic Soc. recently purchased a post card with the title, Star Store Weedsport, NY. It shows the interior of a store that we never knew about. The only real clues are 1) a box of Shinola, 100 shines for a dime 2) Large boxes of Zig Zag and 3) a box of Black and White ???.
  Any clues where I can search for information to try to get a date of when the post card picture was taken?
