Howdy Bill, Looking forward to you sharing some of your vintage goodies. I, too, like it when vintage and newer pieces are combined. Glad you are here!

Hi Carl, I like the postcards you shared. The Chrysler Building pc is my fave. It is a 'linen' postcard (linen because of the surface texture, not what it is made of). Linen postcards typically have saturated colors and white borders. The scenic postcards were also know as "views." 

If anyone is interested, Collectors Weekly has a great article on Linen Postcards.
