Description: $1 flat for the first 4 cards, plus $0.33 for each additional postcard, unless specified otherwise. This vintage postcard, dated October 27, 1911, features the iconic Boley Building located in Kansas City, Missouri. The building, home to "The Boley Clothing Co." is an excellent example of early 20th-century architecture with large glass windows and detailed façade work. Surrounding the Boley Building are other period structures, including the visible Mitchell Photos sign, advertising photography services around the corner. The postcard has been postmarked from Kansas City and addressed to Mrs. Alven Woodthorpe in Durand, Michigan. It features a 1-cent green stamp depicting Benjamin Franklin, adding historical interest for collectors. The note on the back briefly mentions the sender's exhaustion from a long day of work, providing a small glimpse into daily life at the time. The stamp and postmark are well-preserved and may be of interest to philately enthusiasts for further research. Condition:The postcard shows minor corner wear and light discoloration due to its age, but overall remains in very good condition. The vibrant color and clarity of the lithograph are notable, making it an attractive item for collectors of early 20th-century cityscapes and architecture. Please see pics for detail.
