An exceptional collection of 10 real photo postcards and 1 period photo depicting people and places around the town of Polk, Ashland County, Ohio.  A really amazing collection as the scenes and people are nearly all identified, including an image of the downtown with its old windmill and many homes and places associated with Hartsel family.  The Hartsel's are fairly well know as one of them became an early noted baseball player, see below. Anyway, very cool.  Condition looks pretty good overall, some soiling as with most used cards, please examine the photos.  Buyer to pay shipping - good luck!
