More and more, I keep coming across vintage Amateur QSL cards. Latest being back at Dayton, where someone had a couple of thousand cards from the 1930's & 40's from an estate (I got another original W3WN card, plus a few for some current holders of certain calls).

Another token of a bygone era.

Out of idle curiousity, anyone else running into these?

And if you do, there are a few that I am looking for. I have about three 1930's era W3WN cards, but nothing before or after, to say nothing of a 3WN pre-prefix card. And I'm always open to cards from my college club station (now K3CR, W3YA in the 40's & 50's, W8YA and W8XE before WW II), so if anyone ever runs across any of these, let me know... :pray:

...and I'd settle for scans if I can't get the original cards in my own hands...

If anyone gets a vintage card that was printed by Rog, K0AAB, please scan and post? The guy was one of the best QSL designers around in the early 60's. The sample packet you got was great with a few samples and multiple pages of graphic you could select.

Well, well, well! Look what I just found online:

Would I love to get my hands on an original? Absolutely, but still, just seeing the scan...
