» gdazzling - Entry for second prize for Montclair postcards

I found your story through Baristanet. Thank you for sharing your expertise.
Ginny

Here's my entry for the contest ....
QUESTION: A real photo postcard of what Glen Ridge Street was mentioned in the story?
ANSWER: Hamilton Road

A resident of Montclair for 15 years, I started a postcard collection of the township and continue to look for views I don't have. Naturally, I also like to buy nostalgia cards from my hometown and other places visited. Arcadia Publishing offers great paperbacks of postcard history images. These books are good for reference and a nice way to supplement your collection.

In response to Entry for second prize for Montclair postcards posted by gdazzling:

Thanks, Ginny! I don't collect postcards, but I DO have a framed New Jersey tea towel hanging in my kitchen. Grew up in Bergenfield. I took some heat for both my "research" and conclusions. I am shocked to discover that any Barista reader doesn't recognize irony. . . Clearly, you do. Anyway, thanks for entering!

Hi Susan,
Just checking back on your discussion board, and I'm totally amazed that no one else has yet entered this contest.

Since competition is nonexistent, I feel compelled to share more of my knowledge of postcards, enjoyably acquired from your articles. I would feel like a fool not to enter again. You can count on me to check back on April 1 to see how I fared.

Here are my entries for 1st and 3rd places ...
QUESTION 1: What was the eBay price for a real photo postcard of a 76 Gas Station on Route 66 in California?
ANSWER: $113.61

QUESTION 3: This card has a divided back. To what year span can it be dated?
ANSWER: 1907 - 1915, also referred to as the Divided Back Era.

Thank you,
Ginny
