    Lot of 2 postcards promoting Shocco Springs Resort & Camp near Talladega, Alabama,
    viz
    :
    1. ca. 1915-1920 illustrated postcard
    card shows imprint of Brannon Printing Company in Talladega, printed by hot type letterpress
    black ink on green card stock paper - unusual color paper for a postcard.
    Features 2 outdoor illustrations of the resort grounds and buildings.
    With a Talladega, Alabama June 12 postmark but cannot see a year, ca. 1915-1920
    Standard postcard size.
    As of 12 July 2021 I couldn't find another listing for this card on ebay in either current or
    completed listings
    Postally used with a Talladega postmark. Corners modestly bumped. Very good.
    PLUS
    2. Late 1930s - early 1940s (judging by the cars in the background) color, linen finish POSTALLY UNUSED postcard showing boys swimming at Shocco Springs, Talladega Alabama. Nice view of this once famed ALABAMA RESORT.
    Published by E. C. Kropp in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. The stock # shown on the verso is 17363N. There is a 5 line caption on the verso as well. Standard Size postcard.
    Neat Talladega memorabilia.
    While postally unused, this card was glued into an album at some point so the verso shows some glue spots and some abrasions where it was later removed from said album. None of the text of the caption is missing but a few letters are abraded from the stamp box.
    The recto (front of the card) is very good with nice, unfaded color.

    WE REGRET WE DON'T SHIP OUT OF USA; SORRY, BUT
    NO EXCEPTIONS.
    FREE SHIPPING via stiff plastic postcard holder and/or cardboard + plastic sleeve protected 1st class mail, STANDARD RATE.
    Regardless of what ebay may say on their "Shipping Page" - while STANDARD MAIL is perfectly safe for smaller & less expensive items - it is NOT the same grade of service as a "First Class Mail Parcel." Buyer MAY opt in (at a small-ish extra charge) for upgraded 1st class mail package rate (with TRACKING #)  at checkout if they choose to do so.
    Please pay within 4 days. Delayed? Then email me - I'll try to work with you when necessary but it helps a lot when I have contact with you. If your payment is delayed, ebay is liable to send a dun or two. PLEASE NOTE THAT THOSE ARE COMING AUTOMATICALLY FROM EBAY AND
    NOT
    FROM ME. I typically send out just one reminder.
    PLACING A BID IS THE ETHICAL EQUIVALENT OF ACCEPTING THESE TERMS. PLEASE DON'T ASK TO ALTER THEM AFTERWARDS.
    In return, as our feedback clearly shows, we'll get your item(s) to you, as described, in a safe, timely manner. Thanks!
