Vintage Canadian Postcards from Nipissing District and Parry Sound



If you are from the Nipissing or Parry Sound area ( and even if you're not) you will love this page on Canadian history told through vintage postcards.

Vintage Postcards.org

This is a huge site that I spent hours on last night! Run by a lifelong postcard collector and architectural historian from America who has connections to Northern Ontario.
The Nipissing and PS cards are just a tiny part of the huge collections of postcards and virtual museum on this site.


Another cool site is the Toronto Postcard Club. This page claims to be Canada's largest postcard club.

Vintage Beer advertisements

Browsing Flickr tonight I came across a few pages with some great Vintage beer ads.

The first page has some great photos of old bottles and cases.   Would love to have some of those cases!
