This is a 1940s Curt Teich postcard packet featuring nine double sided linen-era views of Plattsburg, New York, all still attached within the original envelope-style cover. The piece is postmarked August nineteen forty seven with a three cent Thomas Jefferson stamp and includes the original handwritten address. Collectors categorize these linen postcards as mid twentieth century American travel ephemera and regional advertising souvenirs. Strong display value for map walls, travel-themed shelves, or Americana collections.
Packets with intact accordion binding and postal evidence present better than loose cards and photograph well for styling.

Envelope flap has a shallow tip crease and minor handling wear. Interior linen postcards remain attached in accordion format with strong color and minimal toning. Postmark, stamp, and handwriting are clear and legible. No mildew, no major tears, and no repairs observed. Overall presents well for a seventy-plus year-old postal souvenir. I listed it as "modified" because it has been addressed and postmarked. less
