Message Highlights:
The handwritten message, dated July 17, 1939, provides a wonderful snapshot of 1930s travel, noting that the senders were having breakfast in Carmel but were frustrated by the heavy coastal fog, remarking "foggy so much we could not see much." They also mention the possibility of heading toward the desert next.
Condition:
Used and posted. The card shows typical age-appropriate wear, including light corner rounding and some minor surface rubbing consistent with a vintage mailed postcard. Please carefully review the high-resolution front and back scans provided in the photos to determine the exact condition for yourself before purchasing.
