Curt Teich Postcard Folder #2 - Postcard Friendship Friday

This is the second of the Postcard Folders I found at the Goodwill Outlet Store a couple of weeks ago.

Unlike the Aquarium folder I posted here, this one has a copyright date - MCMXLI (1941).

On the inside of the folder is a map of Arizona, as well as a short touristy description of what you should plan to include on your trip!

Inside are 9 postcard-sized cards, each with a picture printed on the front and back (18 beautiful scenes total).

They fold up, in a single row, accordion-style into the folder.

I feel so very fortunate to have found these beautiful cards before they were sent off to be shredded and/or incinerated.

Curt Teich Postcard Folder - Postcard Friendship Friday

I was at the Goodwill Outlet store yesterday, getting ready to leave. The workers were bringing out one more group of bins ... of course I had to stay to look them over.

Because we are not allowed to "shop" until all of the bins are in place, I glanced through the bins only. And saw ... POSTCARDS!!!

I parked in front of that particular bin, and noticed there was another lady doing the same thing.
We eyed each other, knowing this was "competition".
I pretended to be interested in something in a nearby bin ...
So did the other lady.

Finally the "OKAY"! I held back, waiting for the competition to make their move.
Then I reached for the postcards. SCORE!!!

Turns out the "competition" didn't give a hoot about the postcards - she was reaching for the sewing supplies.

This postcard folder is what I scored (along with a second one I will post about in the future).

From what I can tell, it is a "postcard folder" from the 1940's by Curt Teich & Co. out of Chicago.

On the inside of the folding envelope style postcard folder are nestled 9 cards - with 18 views of fishes of Hawaii - found at the Waikiki Aquarium.

I have never heard of "postcard folders" before ... it looks like I will be doing a bunch more research!
