Old Postcards of Laudholm

Posted by | June 23, 2011

A small envelope in the Laudholm archives holds two postcards dating from the early 20th century. They were passed along to Mort Mather by Ellie Carberry perhaps around 1992.

The first postcard is labeled "The Lord Farm, Wells, Maine" on the face and marked B&Co on the reverse. B&Co may be either Bradford & Co. of St. Joseph, Michigan, or Bamforth & Co. of Holmfirth, England (MetroPostcard.com).

The second card carries a similar label and is from H.W. Rankin of Plainfield, N.J. (made in Germany). It came to the archive with a penciled price and estimated date on the reverse.
