Virginian 507

507front 507back

I found this postcard in an antique shop a little north of Tazewell/New Tazewell TN on 25.  The card’s not all that rare and it’s got some water damage, but it’s a good picture and it’s from a publisher I’d never heard of.  And that would be Audio-Visual Designs of Earlton, NY.  Earlton is a suburb of Coxsackie…really, Coxsackie.  Although the picture was taken in 1957, I think it was printed in the 80s.  That’s when this company appears to have been active.

I didn’t pay $4.50 for it, either.
