Bob Toal is an avid collector of postcard postal history targeting the birth and development of US postcards from their early beginnings to present. This includes early pioneer and private mailing cards as well as view folders, bi and tri-fold postcards, jumbo postcards and anything unusual in the postcard realm.
The caption on a Bamforth postcard reads, “I can’t send you matches, but here’s a box with some striking contents!” We think the caption talks about matches.
