Terms of use

By using Postcard Origins, you agree to these terms.

Informational purpose

Postcard Origins is an independent reference resource. Dating tables are drawn from published archival and collector references, cited on each page, and are provided for general information only. Postcard dating is inherently approximate outside of documented production records; we strive for accuracy but make no warranty as to completeness or correctness.

Not affiliated

Postcard Origins is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or sponsored by the Newberry Library, the Smithsonian Institution, the Curt Teich Archives, or any postcard publisher, archive, or paper manufacturer. Names and marks are used solely for identification and reference.

No appraisal or professional advice

Nothing here constitutes an appraisal or professional advice. Dating a card is not a statement of its value or authenticity; for purchase, sale, or insurance decisions, consult a qualified dealer or appraiser.

Affiliate links

Some links are affiliate links; see our Affiliate disclosure. We may earn commissions from qualifying purchases.

Limitation of liability

Postcard Origins and its operators are not liable for any loss or damage arising from use of this site or reliance on its information.
