Old Penny & Leather Postcards

We re-found our old leather penny postcards with some extra information about them. It seems the leather postcards were produced between the years 1904-1908.

There are 1906 postmarks dates on the majority of my grandma's leather postcards. There are two leather postcards that are NOT used, postmarked: Statue of Liberty postcard (shown on the left) and the Jamestown Virginia postcard.

The other leather postcards were postmarked and were addressed to our grandma, Constance Warwick, before she married Wm. J. McGill, and sent to Alva, O.T. You can see the other leather postcards on NW Okie's Flickr site.

What year do you suppose the Statue of Liberty and Jamestown, VA leather postcards were produced? I would say that the Jamestown card may have been produced around 1907 for the anniversary of Jamestown's founding.

One of our readers was inquiring about a penny postcard picture of the St. Nicholas Hotel. Is it still standing?

The last I knew, it was still standing on College Avenue, west side of the street, just north of Choctaw Street, in Alva, Oklahoma. Does anyone out there have any other information for Marvin concerning the St. Nicholas Hotel, in Alva, Oklahoma?
