This postcard shows the front entrance at the Sands Hotel and Casino in Las Vegas Nevada. It is dated on the back as being from 1954. You can also tell from the models of the vehicles in the parking lot that this is from the 50s.
The description on the back of the card states:
The Sands Hotel, Las Vegas Nevada
The superlative Sands Hotel is done in the latest Bermuda modern style of architecture and is the "lucky seventh" of the fabulous strip hotels.
Other statements on the back include:
Copyright Ferris H. Scott, Santa Ana Calif, 1954
Color photo by Desert Sea News Bureau
Micro-Krome card by H.S. Crocker Co. Inc, San Francisco 1, Calif
The card number is 7A.
The card measures roughly 3.5 by 5.5 inches and has great color. The card has straight even edges. The card has a divided back, meaning one side for the address and one side for writing a message.
CONDITION:
I am not a postcard collector and don't know how to 'rate" postcards. Personally, I think the card is in great condition for being around 60 to 70 years old. There are no bends, tears, or cracking. On the front of the card, mainly the upper right, there is an extremely thin strip of white at the very edge. It's almost as if the picture didn't quite make it to the edge so I research this and did find where that was quite common years ago. The card is postally unused and has not been addressed or written on.
SHIPPING:
Buyer to pay $2.50 First Class Mail delivery charges. That cost will cover shipping for up to the purchase of 4 postcards.
I do combine shipping on multiple items purchased as long as all items will safely fit into a single box. However, my web host is not set up to calculate multiple item shipping costs. At checkout, you will be charged full shipping price on each item purchased and I will refund the appropriate amount of overpayment. If you are uncomfortable with that, you can send me an email with your zip code and stating which items you'll be purchasing and I'll calculate the correct combined shipping charges and send you a custom invoice.
SPECIAL NOTE ABOUT SHIPPING CHARGES: Twice yearly, and again in November for the holiday season (so three times per year) the postal service increases shipping charges. This is what they call their "Delivering For America" plan in which they hope to become profitable. It's a 10 year plan that started in 2021, so we've got years to go with multiple price increases on shipping charges each year. I try to absorb the new charges and haven't increased my shipping charges in three years. This year unfortunately, I have to if I want to stay in business. I'll try to keep it reasonable and even absorb some of the increases when possible.
INTERNATIONAL PURCHASED: Sorry, I do not ship to locations outside of the United States.
All items in my listings come from either estate or garage sales. I do not know if they come from homes where smoking or pets were present. Unless otherwise stated, all items are sold in the same condition as when I obtained them.
