This collectible postcard is a true historical artifact, postmarked May 10, 1906, from Milwaukee, Wisconsin. It bears a 1-cent Benjamin Franklin stamp and was sent to Miss Phoebe Tilgen in Rockford, Illinois, by Fred M. Thode from Chicago. The reverse side features the classic divided back format, characteristic of early 20th-century postcards, making it a valuable addition for collectors of Wisconsin memorabilia, vintage travel, or architectural history. Its unique details and early postmark make it a significant find for enthusiasts.
