Here
is a most unusual postcard. It is printed on a piece of real leather.
It shows a Victorian woman hiking up her skirt. A little mouse says "not
a man in sight''at Rockaway Beach. The card was actually mailed in 1906.
Amazing what you could get for a penny way back then.
This
postcard appears to be a pencil sketch. The area "Rockaway Beach"
is printed or stamped at the bottom of the card. I suppose this card was
the same for many localities. What did they do to me in Rockaway Beach?
Make a horse's rear out of me??
This
is a great view of the old Rockaway's Playland midway. My parents took
me there when I was a child. So many wonderful memories. I think they
tore the place down in 1985 and now the site is occupied by private homes.
I find that kind of sad.

Don't
you just love postcards with animals on them? I didn't think they allowed
dogs on the beach at Rockaway - at least not during the summer months.
I have no idea of what the card means when it says: "fun for one
- but not for the other" Do you??
