Step into historic 1943 Chinatown, New York City, with this wonderful vintage postcard! This black and white (or duotone) view captures a bustling street scene with classic 1930s/40s automobiles and storefronts including a "NOVELTY SHOP." Published by the Progress Photo Card Publishing Co., this card is made particularly special by its WWII-era postmark. The reverse has a "BUY WAR SAVINGS BONDS AND STAMPS" slogan cancel, and it was mailed from New York on September 24, 1943, with a 1-cent "Prexie" stamp. A fantastic piece of NYC and WWII home front history!
