This postcard features Sunland Boulevard in Sunland California. The area is commonly referred to as Sunland Tujunga. The upper left corner on the back of the card states Sunland California in the Forty's. NOTE: Barkers 5 & 10, Morrill's Real Estate, and Hober's Sunland Pharmacy, with the prominent Sunland Sign.
The postcard was never written on, addressed, or mailed.
Regarding the age of the card: I obtained it at an estate sale so unsure of the age. I'm sure it's not from the 1940s because the makers information is noted with their address in Los Angeles, CA 90048. Zipcodes started appearing in the late 1950s, so there's the proof that it's not from the 40s.
It has an old brownish look to it and I don't know if that's from exposure, or if it was made with that coloring. It has one very small tear on the lower left area, so small that I can't give you a measurement on it. Also, there is a pin hole at the center top and left corner, so someone pinned it to a board or wall at one time.
CONDITION UPDATE - I just noticed that there is a new tear on the card. It does not show in my pictures and I will get new pictures posted asap. The tear is more like a clean cut. It's a tad less than a half inch and it's above the letter D in the Sunland sign. It's at the top edge.
Delivery will be via USPS 1st Class Mail from Nevada. The delivery charge is $3.50.
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.
